	I don't think there is a specific call that he is talking
about.  I think what he meant was he unrolled the line loop.  So
instead of drawing the line 1 point at a time, and comparing to an end
condition and branching back up to the pixel plot, he just had xx
number of lda, sta combinations.  Which basically reduces the overhead
of having a loop and a counter.  The lda, sta combinations address's would be
at hardcoded screen offsets.
