64 Column Printing with User Routine

[Jonathan Cauldwell]

I've created another user routine, this time to enable 64 column text on the Spectrum. To use it, set the display position as usual with the AT command and select which nybble of the cell (left or right) you want to start printing at using the N variable. Then use USER "HELLO THERE!" or whatever text you want to display. You could also use USER M where M is the message number you wish to show.

The routine will be included in the next release but for those who wish to use it before then it's attached below.

Interesting, looks like pretty heavy as it adds a new font charset (768 bytes). Have you thought about some specific use cases or it's just a matter of saving space?

Thanks Jonathan!
