Displaying String on Free42 & DM42

[Werner]

Hello Bill,
from having your matrix CHARS in memory do the following two things:

Code:

RCL "CHARS"
TRANS
STO "FONTS"

and

Code:

5
ENTER
1
NEWMAT
EDIT
14
->
15
->
16
->
94
->
39
->
EXITALL
STO "CTRL"

Then it will work. The reason it doesn't is probably because you don't have the matrix "CTRL", and since I use flag 25 it doesn't error out on not finding it.

As for examples, yours work perfectly, all you need to do is to replace the calls to DISPLAY by DISPXY. And to replace the doubling of the control characters by preceding them with a quote.
Of course, just specifying 3 for the GrMod and calling DSP2XY doesn't show well, as the coordinates are hardcoded for single-spaced fonts. That's where DISP (with lines) would come in. I'll try and add that in and a few examples as well.

Cheers, Werner
