STRSCREEN()
Displays a string with characters and attributes on the screen
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
STRSCREEN(<cCharacterstring>, [<nRow>],
[<nColumn>]) --> cNull
Arguments
<cCharacterstring> Designates the character string to display.
<nRow> Designates the starting line for the output. The default is
the cursor line.
<nColumn> Designates the starting column for output.
Returns
STRSCREEN() always returns a null string.
Description
STRSCREEN() displays the contents of a variable to the screen (assuming
that it is in a particular format). You must always have a character,
an attribute, another character, etc., in the designated character
string.
<nRow> and <nColumn> specify the first row and column in which to write
the string.
Notes
Warning! The string must also contain attribute bytes. Use
COLORTON() to create the combined numeric attributes.
. Output does not alter the cursor position.
Examples
. Output "ABC" at the current cursor position with a different
attribute for each character:
STRSCREEN("A"+CHR(1)+"B"+CHR(2)+"C"+CHR(3))
. Output ABC with different attributes at the current cursor
column in line 24:
STRSCREEN("A"+CHR(1)+"B"+CHR(2)+"C"+CHR(3), 24)
. Output ABC with different attributes at column 70, line 24:
STRSCREEN("A"+CHR(1)+"B"+CHR(2)+"C"+CHR(3), 24, 70)
