CALL 99: Reset Print Head Pointer

Use CALL 99 to reset the internal print head character counter. In the original

BASIC-52, the serial port drivers would automatically insert a CR/LF after 79

characters. MVI56-BAS does not automatically insert the CR/LF after 79

characters. However, the TAB function does keep track of how many characters

have been transmitted out each port. These character counts are cleared after a

CR has been transmitted. CALL 99 will reset the TAB character count for all ports

without having to transmit a CR.

Syntax:
