Thanks a lot. I do indeed use some of these locations, so i'll have to add a
check for the Master. Because of this, the program will be slower on such a
machine, since i can't poke into the VDU system directly anymore, and i'll
have to fall back on making 128 VDU 23's... Or is there a way to stuff the
data into the right location without going through the VDU handler?
My program runs in sideways RAM, so it may be difficult.

Do you know how to check if your program is running on a Master? The INKEY
call should return a unique value. Do you know what it is on a Master?
