It's meant to be portable to lots of different computer platforms which is why I chose ASCII art this time around. There's actually a witch that can fly by, but the CoCo doesn't have enough text rows on the screen so it doesn't show.

Chris,

Actually if you have a Coco3, then you can change two lines of your program to 
include the witch. The new lines are below.

On a WIDTH40 screen
230 CL = 40: RW =24
On a WIDTH80 screen
230 CL = 80: RW =24

1010 LOCATE X,Y

If you don't have a Coco3, try the above with a Coco3 emulator.

Robert
