Hi Chris,

Nice to see you back.

Have a look at Thomas' Thrust source and look at the ShowDigits1 subroutine. This should give you what you need (I hope). Notice that Thomas uses illegal opcodes to do his 6-digit display :) The lax instruction will save 2 cycles. It loads the accumulator and x at the same time.

Take care,
Dennis
