May be used in macros and PROCs to display messages to the screen. If "message.text" is terminated by a plus sign (+), the trailing carriage return is suppressed. "message.text" is either regular text, the following special characters, or any combination of them: @(x{,y}) Positions cursor at the specified "x,y" coordinates where "x" indicates the row position and "y" indicates the column position. @(-x) Generates the corresponding video attributes. The values of 'x' are the exactly the same as the values of the FlashBASIC "@ function". @({x}N) Generates 'x' carriage returns. If 'x' is omitted, only one carriage return is generated. @({x}B) Generates 'x' bells. If 'x' is omitted, only one bell is generated. @(O[n|.x]) Generates one character whose decimal representation is 'n', or hexadecimal representation is 'x', preceded by a period. Valid values are from 0 to 254 decimal (x'00' to x'FE'). Valid on release 6.1 and later only. `command` The result of the execution of "command", between back quotes, is substituted in place of "command". |
