The stopping position for the display window is the horizontal and
vertical coordinates of the lower right-hand corner of the display window.
One register,  DIWSTOP , contains both coordinates, known as HSTOP and
VSTOP.

See the notes in the "Forming a Basic Playfield" section for instructions
on setting these registers.
