heheh yeah sometimes mine took awhile to crash :)

I tried outputting a 0x11 (cursor down) in lieu of the newline...which I
think just spat out a lowercase q, and not a ctrl-q, which is the cursor
down.

printf and friend (ie, stdio) calls CHROUT.... i see no reason to use
that by 
doing inline assembly hackery to be honest. (i have personally only ever
used 
it either for simple testing, placing an inc$d020 somewhere or sth, or
really 
really c64 specific hackery) most standard tasks can be solved with the 
library calls.

yes...well to be exact, the behaviour is "undefined" (but most DO crash
indeed 
:=))
