|  Re: Combing Text and freely placeable bitmaps on screen
Some of this is a bit unclear to me. Graphic 3 = hires? 1 should be hires, 3 should be multi. Which one do you mean exactly?
As for "freely placeable"... Sounds like you want to create some 6 chars by 10 chars bitmaps, and load and position them on the graphics screen? If so, there's no easy way to do it from BASIC. From ML, it's pretty trivial though.
If you use my editor to create non full-screen bitmaps (which, as a game programmer, I find is often necessary, yet none of the other tools seem to do this), it will be in a format that is not ready to be placed onto the graphics screen. You'll need something (either a bunch of PEEK/POKEs, or a short ML routine) to copy it to the screen for you.
