The DispHome Command

The DispHome command returns the user to the homescreen. This is very useful in a program that uses the I/O screen since ending a program with a command like 68k:Stop will not automatically return the user to the homescreen. Take this example:

Prompt a
Pause
DispHome

This code will ask for a value for "a", then go to the homescreen. Had you not put the DispHome command there, you would have stayed at the I/O screen, which in some cases can be confusing.

Optimization

The DispHome command also combines the functionality of the 68k:Stop command. For example

DispHome
Stop

can be

DispHome
