 |  Re: Searchin' for a char editor...
Thanks for the feedback!
DLOAD (which is similar to LOAD"NAME",8) will load the file to the BASIC start, which is usually $1001. LOAD"NAME",8,1 or loading in TEDMON will load to the absolute address (or load address, in this case $3800). That's why this is important.
$3800 is a good location for the charset if your program should work on a standard C16/C116 with only 16kb. If your program gets larger and you run out of memory you can still relocate the charset. For some tests and smaller programs, this will be fine.
There aren't many ppl (re-)starting coding on these machines. So feel free to ask anything, there are lots of friendly ppl here and most "problems" can be solved
