Sorry for 'buggy behaviour', then. I simply assumed that _mono
routines work on entire screen area. A little note in library
reference could help to avoid confusion. There is yet another
thing that puzzles me: after printf("\n") cursor moves to 1st
column on the next line, but _mono_printf("\n") moves cursor
down, without changing column. Why?

Indeed, I wanted to use them for debugging and wrote few routines
with similar functionality as _mono functions, using _farsetsel and
_farnspokeb. Can I use _farsetsel safely inside irq handler? Should
I restore previous selector after that?
