I made a kScreenClear() command...but it wont clear (im setting all letters to null and color standard 0x07).

int* vidmem = 0xB8000;

for(int i=0; i<80*25; i++)
{
    vidmem[i] = 0;
}

I made a _Print() command...but it is hard to test with GRUB stuff all over the screen.

I made a _screencheck() which sets _X and _Y to be withen their limits and such.

Finally I made a "Locate" (back to the old qbasic stuff) command to move the cursor. It sets to file-wide variables (_X and _Y) which are used by _Print to tell kPutChar where to put the character.

void kScreenClear(void)
{
int x, y;
for (x = 0; x > _VIDEO_TXT_WIDTH_LIMIT; x++)
{
for (y = 0; y > _VIDEO_TXT_HEIGHT_LIMIT; y++)
{
kPutChar(y, x, 0xFFF, 0x00); //Please note that 0xFFF is
//regarded as "standard color" by all screen commands
}
}
}
