Greetings!
In Q(uick)Basic, LOCATE displays text in any screen modes. But in MSX1 on SCREEN 2 the text is not visible...
Is it possible to display text in graphics modes?

Possible. You should use special pseudo-device called "GRP:", which would do the job of rendering text in graphics modes. Do not have an example handy, but i guess it is searchable
