Re: Where do I start?

At college, they suggested a layout like:

Field one    > _________ <
Field two    > ______ <
Field three > ____________<

(I have porpotional fonts, the > should be in the same column.)

And, just in case someone should clear the screen and type a lot of
characters, I would place the input buffer as the very last field and
use a large size, eg 4K, just in case a 43*80 screen is defined and
filled up.  Probably dedicate a register by doing a LA on the field
and incrementing the address as you process bytes.
