Q: | How do you make that the status line is not visible on the screen so that the status indicators do not mess up your graphics?

A:

The most general method (I use this) is: disable auto-int 1 using OSSetSR function (status line indicators are updated from this interrupt). Note that in this case you need to read the keyboard using the _rowread function, because ngetchx etc. are based on auto-int 1. I used this method in my program cblaster (you can pick it from ticalc). Anyway, if you use _rowread, you should also disable auto-int 5 as well.
