Notes
The flags in R2 determine how this call is used.Registers R0, R5, R6 and R7 are only used if bits 5, 6, 7 and 8 are set in flags in R2.
If bit 8 is clear then the current font will be assumed. This call does not alter the current font, so if you are scanning several sequential lines, and these contain font shifts, you should call Font_FutureFont to find which font handle to pass in R0 the next time.
If bit 20 is set, there is no split character, then R7 will be used to return the number of non-control characters (codes 32 or greater and not within a control sequence).
