Hi, Charlie. I’d be glad to write one for you, assuming I can figure out the ASCII number parsing.

But, you should be able to use PRINT@ to do that, since lowercase will be inverse. You just won’t get the inverse space character.

PRINT@(32*10)+1,”E edit”;

10*32 to get to the row, plus 1 for the 2nd column. But, all that math is slow so you’d really just want to do:

PRINT at 321,”E edit”;

If you leave off the semicolon, it will erase the rest of the line when it prints.
