Your problem might be that you are loading the cursor position
incorrectly. I always load the cursor position using $800C (not sure
what this address is in the header file). to print text at row 4, col
3 you would:
ld hl,$0403
ld ($800C),hl
but to use the CURSOR_X and _Y, you should probably be loading the
value into an 8 bit register. so instead of
ld hl,$00
ld (CURSOR_Y),hl
it should probably be
xor a ; ld a,0 (1 byte smaller)
ld (CURSOR_Y),a
but i am not sure about that since i never do it that way.
