v i d W r i t e C
Description
Writes an ASCII character at the specified display page’s
current cursor location, overwriting any character that may
already be there, but keeping the attribute. After calling this
function, call vidPutCursor to move the cursor to a new position.
If the application writes to a display page other than the current
one, the written string does not appear until the application sets
that page as the current one with vidSetPage. Strings written to
the current page appear immediately.
To write a character and attribute, use vidWriteCA.
Syntax

short sCount,
short sPage);
Parameters

columns remaining in the current row.

The display page. For 4-row printers, values are
