Hello :-)

        I have been experimenting with Atari 8-bit BASIC and the joystick 
routines.  I have gotten to the point where I can move an object around 
the screen, and can locate the an item that might come into it's path.  

Now I would like for the jostick to pass over many items, and replace them 
after it moves over it.  Say that I have an "l" poked to look like a 
heart, after the joystick passes over the heart, it would re-appear.  

I have a problem in that the cursor leaves a trail behind it, covering 
over anything in it's path with the current shape of the cursor.

Thanks... and if that made sense.. please reply!
