_strCat                      equ        495Fh   ;concatenate str (HL) and (DE)

However, if you just want to display one string after another, it would 
probably be easiest to just call _puts or _vputs twice...

 call _clrLCD
 ld hl,$050a
 ld (_penCol),hl
 ld hl,_OP2
 call _vputs
 ld hl,_OP1
 call _vputs

As for getting the dimensions of a matrix, the first byte of the data is the 
number of columns and the second byte is the number of rows.  It is then 
followed by the actual cell data in OP format.
