Hmm double HIRES graphics on the ][e

[benj@halls1.cc.monash.edu.au (STEWART Benjamin Joseph - Benj)]

Hi!
   I have just pulled the old ][e out from under the covers and given it a 
wipe down and started the beast. After a few hick ups we're off and running 
and I haven't used my PC since. 

I remembered a problem that I had as a 15 year old in trying to do some 
programing on my ][e. In the documentation I had with my machine it said 
that you can get double hires graphics. I'm not sure how it works, and I got 
as far as entering the command `poke -16290,0' and then typing the HGR2 
command. It worked... sort off, I got the double res. graphics, but there 
was garbage all the way through the screen and you could only write onto 
half of it using the old `hplot x,y to x1,y1'. Does anybody know what I can 
do so as I can get the fully useable double HIRES graphics so I can tinker 
once again with applesoft basic.


Thanks !!

ps. gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside to see that there are all these 
people out there who still love the best computers ever built.... THE 
APPLE ][ series .... hmmmmmmm
