Hi, could somebody tell me how to set the X and Y positions using VGA_Text. I am sure it is easy but i cannot figure out how to set them, i have tried different ways and obviously i did not succeed.

    Something like this should do (untested due to lack of VGA monitor):

    vga.out($A)   ' set X (X follows)
vga.out(12)   ' X
vga.out($B)   ' set Y (Y follows)
vga.out(10)   ' Y

    For the record, the comment in the out method of the VGA_text object:

    PUB out(c) | i, k

'' Output a character
''
''     $00 = clear screen
''     $01 = home
''     $08 = backspace
''     $09 = tab (8 spaces per)
''     $0A = set X position (X follows)
''     $0B = set Y position (Y follows)
''     $0C = set color (color follows)
''     $0D = return
''  others = printable characters
