.NEXTR \ Each character row in screen memory takes up &140 \ bytes (&100 for the visible part and &20 for each of \ the blank borders on the side of the screen), so \ that's what we need to add to SC(1 0) to move down \ one row \ \ We also know the C flag is set on entry, so we can \ add &13F in order to get the correct result LDA SC \ Set SC(1 0) = SC(1 0) + &140 ADC #&3F \ STA SC \ Starting with the low bytes LDA SC+1 \ And then adding the high bytes ADC #&01 STA SC+1 RTS \ Return from the subroutine
