Hi,
I have been asked on youtube to publish the code, so here it is. For sure it can be improved, so please share your thoughts here - I'm far away from being an experienced coder ... just playing a bit around with SuperBasic ...

Thanks thornsinclair, cool piece of coding that with a bit of fiddly poky, could be entered in the 20 line challenge 
For those who are intrigued, Google translates "buchstabenausgabe" as "letter issue" or letter output and as Google also annoyingly state 'did you mean buchstabeneingabe' which translates to "letter input".

Tomorrow the 4th Matrix movie "The Matrix Resurrections" premieres the cinemas in Europe.
This reminded me of thorsinclair's implementation of "The Matrix". I even did a short video yesterday:

It may be the right time to dig out my versions of "The Matrix" which I wrote in the early 2000s. IIRC I made one to demo SMSQ/E multitasking (multiple JOBS and SCR channels) and one with nice SCROLL.
