|  Re: Combing Text and freely placeable bitmaps on screen
MMS, that would be doable, but it would also erase all the other text/graphics/whatever is next to the 7x11 area. I'm assuming George wants to put more than one of these on the screen at a time.
The "right way" to do it in my opinion would be to store the data as GfxEdit outputs it (bitmap first, the colmap and lummap), and do a SYS to a routine, where you pass in your source memory address and the required destination coords. (The size of the bitmap would be fixed to 7x11.) I used to do basic extensions back in the day, if I recall correctly you could do a nice routine that would read additional params after the SYS, so something like this: SYS 5120, DEC("0800"), 2, 2 - this would copy from $0800 to 2,2.
