The first item in the PRINT statement appears in
the first column. The next item - the first after a
comma - appears in column 10. The other items
appear in columns 20 and 30. \
The semicolon (;) can be used in a similar fashion.
This leaves no space between successive items in
the PRINT statement.
PRINT "A"j"B"j"C"j"D"j"E"j"F"
will display:
ABCDEF
The same rules-apply when printing numbers, and
numerical variables.
The effect of commas and semicolons is not confined
to the PRINT statement in which they appear. If
you end one PRINT statement with a comma or
semicolon then the data printed by the next
PRINT command will appear on the same line,
with spaces as appropriate.
POSITION
The command POSITION can be used to make the·
Atari begin printing at any point on the screen. To
place the cursor at column C, row R, use:
POSITION C,R
On the standard text display, C must be between 0
and 39, and R must be between 0 and 23.
