Tragically, I remember too much from my time on the Commodore 64 - These memory locations on the Commodore 64 controlled the background and border screen colours. Although there is no need to roll the value of A back to zero when you hit 16 as only the low nibble of these registers are interpreted (although you would still need to do so when the value of A hit 256) - The colour of the text and cursor could similarly be controlled by poke-ing similar values into memory location 646 (the memory is a little rusty on this one).

And of course, the ? is simply shorthand for the PRINT key word - Note however that this differs from the shorthand for PRINT# for printing to output channels which is P<shift-R> - This is because PRINT# is interpreted as a separate and unique token by the interpreter. Entering the combination of ?# generates a syntax error ...

Shoot me now ... please ... :-)
