Depending on the effect you wish to achieve, you could try fiddling with the
termination vector. Try
tv% = %10110100
as in
100 OUTL#0
110 tv% = %10110100
120 x% = 0: y% = 0: sw% =-1
130 REPeat
140 RPTR#0; x%, y%, tv%, sw%, xr%, yr%, t$
145 PRINT#0; x%, y%, tv%, sw%, xr%, yr%, t$
160 END REPeat
(Tested with Smsq/e 2.93 and 2f99)
When bit #7 is set in the termination vector a "window request" is
initiated - same as when you do a Move - so the sprite is active across all
windows. Terminate the operation with a HIT or a DO. If you just wanted
something local, you could try designing a "null" sprite instead, but I
havent tried this.
