What's left? Quite a few things actually:
* Copy the 40-Column text screen to HGR
* Scroll the HGR screen up by 1 pixel
* Copy the 80-Column text screen to DHGR (Double High Resolution)
* Hook into the COUT so all text appears onto the HGR or DHGR screen
Let's implement those first two.
## Copy text screen to HGR
For our final trick we are going to copy the characters off the text screen onto the HGR screen. More magic? Nah, just bit-shuffling.
