We finally finished the ANSI cursor; now you can tell when the sysop hits return in a full screen chat. The cursor will count to decimal 1000 and resets the counter whenever a character is displayed. That is why you usually can't see the cursor when text is moving. This is for speed purposes.
Scrolling of the screen was sped up somewhat. Instead of using STAL and LDAL we switched to bank $01 at the suggestion of Mr. Atoz using the following 16 bit method:
LDA #$0101
PHA
PLB
PLB
Thereby eliminating the problem of going to 8 bit mode and back to 16 bit mode in order to switch banks. LDA and STA are about 1 cycle faster than LDAL and STAL. In future releases, the buffer will be examined for line feeds, but we haven't quite jumped over the barricade of what to do with ESC[H commands coming between line feeds. Most likely, an escape code will be treated just like the end of a buffer until a better scheme is concocted.
