2068 Print Command Compiler

This article addresses itself to one of the calls in particular; the PRINT routine at 2159h (8537d). The author, Ray Kingsley, points out the fact that you can put the message in memory, point the system variable CH_ADD to the location of the start of the message, and call the PRINT routine. He also very helpfully mentions that if you can get the floating point form of the numbers that you use (e.g. AT 3,5; or FLASH 1; etc.) into the memory area in the same form as it is in the PRINT statement, then the AT, TAB, INK, PAPER, etc. instructions will work as well.
