i still have been unable to position my string in the upper left-hand corner
of my window (well, i found a way but i don't understand it). the following
code does what i want.

	ldx	#$ffea
	ldy	#$fff0
	stx	@x_coor
	sty	@y_coor
	PushLong #point
	_LocalToGlobal
	PushWord @x_coor
	PushWord @y_coor
	_MoveTo
	PushLong #str
	_WriteCString

now, you will notice that i don't use coordinates (0, 10) as the upper
left corner for me to position my string. in stead, i use negative coordinates.
this seems to do the job.

i must be missing something. anyone have any ideas?

ps. i might have the order wrong for the above code (i.e. in pushing which
parameter first). i'm doing this from memory.
