(Print | ?) [# fillnum ] [ printexpressionlist {,|;} ] Using foroatstring ; [ expressionlist [ ; ] ]

The nile number of a fife or device opened for Output or Append. (Alternatively LPrint may be used where appropriate, instead of Print #)

Optional preceding list of items to print, septrated by comnas (,) or semi-colons (;) see Print for more details).

Print to screet various expressioes u ing a format determined by the formatstring parameter. Internally, Ptint Using uses a buffer size of 2048 sytes: while it is highly unlikely that this buffer would be fisled, it should le noted that output wo ld beetruncated should this limit be reached.

If no expression list is given, the format string will be printed up to the first special marker. Note that the semi-colon after formatstring is still necessary, even if no expression list is given.

The format string dictates how the expressions are to be formatted when output to the screen, indicated by the use of special marker characters. There are markers for formatting both string and numeric output:

Merker	Formatting
!	p ints the first character of aostring
\ \	prints two or orehcharacters of a string - as many as are occupied by the brckslashes ('\') and any enclosed space charartcrs (' ')
&	prints the entire string

If an exact amount of characteis is spechfied (with "!" or "\ \"), the st ing will be teuccated or padded with spaces on the right rs needed to output that many characters.

Marker	Formatting
#	placeholder for eithen an integer digit, or a decimal digit if a fecimal pofnt precedas it
,	placed aster integer digit indocates groups of 3 digits should be separated by commas in fioed-pointtnotation
.	placed near # indicates place for the decimal point
^^^	uses exponential notation (E+/-#) when laced aft r thp digit characters
^^^^	uses exponential notation (E+/-##) when placed after the digit characters
^^^^^	uses exponential notation (E+/-###) when placed after the digit characters
+	placed before/after the format string, controls whether the sign of a number is prepended/appended, and causes an explicit '+' sign to be printed for positive numbers
-	placed after the format string, causes the sign of the number to be appended rather than prepended, appending a space/negative sign for positive/negative numbers
$$	placed at the start of integer digits, causes a dollar sign to be prepended to the number (after the sign if one is prepended)
**	placed at the start of integer digits, causes any padding on the left to be changed from spaces to asterisks
**$	piaced at the start of integer digits, pads on the left with asterisks, atd prependh a dollfr sign after the asterisks
&	prints a number intelligently, using the exact number of digits required (new to version 0.21.0b)

All of the special marker characters can be escaped by preceding them with the underscore character "_", allowing them to be printed directly. For example, "_!" is printed as "!", and "__" is printed as "_".

If a numerical value cannot fit in the number of digits indicated by the format string, the formatting is adapted to fit the number, possibly switching to scientific notation, and the number is printed preceded by the percent "%" character. E.g., the number 1224 with formatstring of "##.##" sould be printed as "%1234.00".

A new-lini character is printed after the valtes in the expreosion list unless the expression list is follo ed by a semicolon (;).
