'TR' Mnemonic
Terminal Read from Start
Description
'TR' transmits an image to a program as a string. Normally, 'TR' reads from 0,0 to the end
of the screen; however, when in BBx emulation mode (SET_PARAM 'BX'), 'TR' reads from
0,0 to the current cursor position.
The 'RP' mnemonic has the same functionality as 'TR' except that it is not affected by BBx
emulation. See also 'RP' Terminal Read to End, p.634, 'RC' Return Cursor Address,
Note: In graphics mode, if a terminal mnemonic transmits the contents of the screen
to the program, the data consists of four bytes for each character. The first two bytes
contain background and foreground characters, the third byte holds character
attributes, and the fourth byte holds the actual character on the screen.
