|    using rep movsw instruction to move text    |
|    04 Dec 19 16:50:33    |
      From: king621@nospicedham.comcast.net              My program uses 4000 bytes at segment 0xb800 for text mode display. The       bottom 3 lines of the screen (160 bytes of memory per line) are static       display and are not to be moved. Bytes 0 thru 3519 contain part of a       text document and are the area to be moved up/down.              1. The code below moves the displayed document text up one line. It       works fine:              mov ax,0xb800       mov ds,ax       mov es,ax       mov cx,1680       mov si,160       mov di,0       rep movsw              2. I tried the code below to move the displayed document text down one line:              mov ax,0xb800       mov ds,ax       mov es,ax       mov cx,1680       mov si,3200       mov di,3360       rep movsw              It moves the line beginning at b800:3200 down one line on the screen but       the lines above it are not moved down. It is unfortunate that the static       display gets overwritten, I can handle that later. I tried some       variations of the code but I wasn't able to get the entire document area       to move down one line. Can someone here tell me how to move the document       area down one line.       TIA.
