Re: PRINT returns to text mode when in PMODEs

I assume HPRINT won't work for you?  Sounds like this may be a quick logging technique (to print to the text screen so that it will be there when the graphics go away).

Just kibbutzing,
John

I don’t have time to test it, but I think changing the PRINT hook at 359-361 to an RTS instruction (POKE 359,57) should do that. Change it back to the opcode for an extended address JMP to revert back to normal behaviour.

If you are in a PMODE graphics mode and you print, BASIC switches back to the text screen.

Is there a way to prevent that, beyond a ROM patch in 64K mode?
