These two spaces insert the appropriate spaces after the initials of
the name (see below). Also notice the use of the variables A$ for
format
and
P for item list
in
line 500. Any serious use
of
the PRINT
USING statement would probably require the use of variables
at
least
for item list rather than constants. (We've used constants
in
our
examples for the sake of better illustration).
