Re: A86: _vputs




a two byte load such as "ld (_penCol),bc" stores both the column and row at
once.  _penCol is one byte, and _penRow is the next byte

so the equivalent would be this:
	ld a,1
	ld (_penCol),a
	ld (_penRow),a
	ld hl,test
	call _vputs

this write one byte to each coordinate.  however, when writing to both, it is
much more efficient to do a 16 bit load.  just remember which one comes first.
