*	SD SALES 8024 XY CURSOR CONTROL PROGRAM
*
*	This is a demo of the SD Sales video board
*  8024 XY cursor control.  The main procedure will
*  be extracted and put in my library for use in future
*  programs that I write. But this prgram demonstrates
*  just how it works. This type of XY cusor positioning
*  is only good for inserting ASCII characters but the
*  8024 has the ability to be programed with graphic
*  characters so this is a good first step.
