statement/CHAR statement/CHAR NAME CHAR -- Prints string on a screen ABBREVIATION ch <shift> A SYNOPSIS CHAR [<color_src>],<left>,<top>,"<string>"[,<reverse_flag>] FUNCTION Text (alphanumeric strings) can be displayed on any screen at a given location by the CHAR command. Character data is read from the computer character ROM area. You supply the left (<left>) and top (<top>) coordinates of the starting position and the text string (<string>) you want to display, color (<color>) and reverse imaging (<reverse_flag>) are optional. The string is continued on the next line if it attempts to print past the right edge of the screen. When Used in TEXT mode, the string printed by the CHAR command works just like a PRINT string, including reverse field, cursors, flash on/off, etc. These control functions inside the string do not work when the CHAR command is used to display text in GRAPHIC mode. INPUTS <color_src> - printing color source (0-3) <left> - character column (0-39) <top> - character row (0-24) <string> - text to be printed <reverse_flag> - reverse field flag (0=off, 1=on) RESULT Prints given string on a screen at a given position.
