WHAT! When I'm here? Traitor <G> <giggle> ;)

Int 10 Func 9
    ' $INCLUDE: 'qbx.bi'
    DIM r AS RegType
    LOCATE 1, 1 ' can use this or INTERRUPT &h10
(r.ax=&h0200)     Char2Write% = 179 ' can be 0 to 255
      Page% = 0
      Attribute = 7
      CountOfrepeat = 1920             ' 2000 for full
screen       r.ax = &H9 * 256 + Char2Write%
      r.bx = Page% * 256 + Attribute
      r.cx = CountOfrepeat
      Interrupt &H10, r, r
      ' Returns None
    DO: IF INKEY$ = CHR$(27) THEN END
    : LOOP
