OSBYTE &A0 (160) - Read VDU Variable
This call returns variable number X in registers X and Y. On some implementations of BASIC it is called by the =VDU(n) function.
The VDU variables are stored in a machine-dependant location (&0300 in most 8-bit OSs), so this call should be made to read them. 16-bit values (eg &06/7) can be read with one call by reading the low numbered location (eg &06).
As the VDU variables number 0 to 127, some platforms translate VDU variable numbers 128+ to the appropriate RISC OS OS_ReadVduVariables offset.
