`#Axiom(TEXT)`		(All commands are in the Vars → Zoom menu.)
`Row` `EXP→Row`	Key:ZXmin	Get or set the current pen row.
`Col` `EXP→Col`	Key:ZXmax	Get or set the current pen column.
`Row^r` `EXP→Row^r`	Key:ZXmin	Get or set the current cursor row.
`Col^r` `EXP→Col^r`	Key:ZXmax	Get or set the current cursor column.
`Str(PTR)` `Str(PTR)^r` `Str(PTR,BUF)`	Key:ZXscl	The string that is pointed to is drawn at the current pen location to the main buffer, back buffer, or specified buffer respectively. See `Fix 0` and `Fix 1` commands for drawing details.
`Char(CHAR)` `Char(CHAR)^r` `Char(CHAR,BUF)`	Key:ZYmin	The ASCII character is drawn at the current pen location to the main buffer, back buffer, or specified buffer respectively. See `Fix 0` and `Fix 1` commands for drawing details.
`EXP▶Int` `EXP▶Int^r`	Key:ZYmax	Converts the number to an unsigned or signed integer respectively and returns the pointer to that string.
`EXP▶Fixed` `EXP▶Fixed^r`	Key:ZYscl	Converts the number to an unsigned or signed 8.8 fixed point number respectively and returns the pointer to that string.
`EXP▶Token`	Key:ZXres	Converts the 1 or 2 byte token to a string and returns a pointer to that string.
`PTR▶Token^r`	Key:ZXres	Converts the 1 or 2 byte token that is pointed to to a string and returns a pointer to that string.
`PTR▶Token^rr`	Key:ZXres	Returns the 1 or 2 byte token that is pointed to.

Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for

Also, I guess the answer is yes but is this faster than the OS routine ?

edit
Bug Report (or maybe I just don't know how to use it -.-)
See, my code is

8→Col
7→Row
Str(255►Int)

But there is no 255 on (8,7). There is some garbage (behind the big "3")

edit
Nevermind, it displays right but the grey background doesn't let figures appear correctly

Are Output(EXP) and Output(X,Y) commands unoptimized ?

Char(CHAR), what is the difference with >Char ?

Explain why you made this axiom, I don't see why it is better, and if that's more optimized, why you don't ask to quigibo to optimize his routines ?

They are OS routines, so they don't take any space but are very slow

This one can write on any buffer

Because Quigibo can't optimise the OS

If I understand, it add more syze to program.

It does at more size to the program, but it also adds functionality which Axe does not provide, which is really the point of Axioms in the first place.
