 ; Note that "X-increment" and "Y-increment" work in the opposite way than what
 ; most people expect. Y moves left and right, X moves up and down.

+; *** Z-Offset ***
+;
+; This LCD has a "Z-Offset" parameter, allowing to offset rows on the
+; screen however we wish. This is handy because it allows us to scroll more
+; efficiently. Instead of having to copy the LCD ram around at each linefeed
+; (or instead of having to maintain an in-memory buffer), we can use this
+; feature.
+;
+; The Z-Offet goes upwards, with wrapping. For example, if we have an 8 pixels
+; high line at row 0 and if our offset is 8, that line will go up 8 pixels,
+; wrapping itself to the bottom of the screen.
+;
+; The principle is this: The active line is always the bottom one. Therefore,
+; when active row is 0, Z is FNT_HEIGHT+1, when row is 1, Z is (FNT_HEIGHT+1)*2,
+; When row is 8, Z is 0.
