BIOS console wrapped line at 79 characters. It became the issue
after recent changes when extra column for scrolling indications was
removed. The effect was that up/down arrows were printed in the first
column of the next line.
May be it would be easier to simply use INT10 AH=13. Available
documentation indicates that it is available since 1986, so I guess
any system that exists today should implement it.
