I just checked SEGA manual, it say display area is "40 chars wide x 28 chars high". But BasiEgaXorz only can display 38 x 26 ? I find it from BasiEgaXorz manual. Use function "Locate", it say "Repositions the text cursor at <Row> and <Column>. The range for row is 0 to 25, and the range for column is 0 to 37."
Why the display area is smaller ? Or I'm wrong ?

You are in the right thing: BasiEgaXorz begining to write in the position <1,1>. Devster did this intentionally, because some TVs (especially the older ones) may not show the contour lines.
But with the options TEXTHEIGHT, TEXTWIDTH and TEXTSTART can change this.
For example, if you write this:
option TEXTSTART, 0,0
option TEXTHEIGHT, 28
option TEXTWIDTH, 40
you can write in ALL the screen.
I hope that you have served.
