statement/PRINT                                               statement/PRINT
 
 NAME
     PRINT -- Writes data to the screen
 
 ABBREVIATION
     ?

 SYNOPSIS
     PRINT <printlist>

 FUNCTION
     The PRINT statement is the major output statement in BASIC. While the 
     PRINT statement is the first BASIC statement most people learn to use, 
     there are many subtleties to be mastered here as well. The word PRINT 
     can be followed by any combinations of these items, which is considered 
     the printlist (<printlist>):

         Characters inside of quotes    "text lines"
         Variable names                 A B A$ X$
         Functions                      SIN(23) ABS(33)
         Punctuation marks              ; ,

     The characters inside of quotes are often called literals because they 
     are printed exactly as they appear. Variable names have the value they 
     contain (either a number or a string) printed. Functions also have 
     their number values printed. Punctuation marks are used to help format 
     the data neatly on the screen. The comma (,) devides the screen into 
     four columns for data, while the semicolon (;) doesn't add any spaces. 
     Either mark can be used as the last symbol in the statement. This 
     results in the next PRINT statement acting as if it is continuing the 
     last PRINT statement.
 
 INPUTS
     <printlist> - items to be printed
 
 RESULT
     Given printlist is displayed on the screen.

 EXAMPLES
     10 PRINT "HELLO"
     20 A$="THERE":PRINT "HELLO,"A$
     30 A=4:B=2:PRINT A+B
     50 J=41:PRINT J;:PRINT J-1
     60 C=A+B:D=A-B:PRINT A;B;C,D
         Result:
         HELLO
         HELLO, THERE
