The position of each printed item is determined by the punctuation used to separate the items in the
list. In the list of expressions, a comma causes a tab to the next print zone (print zones are 14
characters wide). A semicolon does not place any spaces between the printed items. If the list of
expressions terminates without a semicolon or a comma, a carriage return is printed at the end of the
line.
Printed numbers are always followed by a space. Positive numbers are preceded by a space.
Negative numbers ar e preceded by a minus sign.
n = valid port number. Port number s are 1 and 2 for serial; 9 for V F display; 10 for LC D display.
LCD and VF displays must be configured using the CONFIG D ISPLAY comm and before use.
