Syntax CRT {expression{,expression..}{:}
Category BASIC
Type Statement
Description outputs unconditionally to the terminal display, regardless of whether or not the "printer on" condition is in effect.

This functions like the "print" command, but is not affected by any of the following:

1)  the (p) option used with the "run" command at TCL.
2)  the "printer on" statement.
3)  a "heading", "footing" or "page" statement.

All of the "@" functions provided with the print "statement" are allowed.

When expressions are separated by commas, the next expression is output starting at the column position defined by the next output tab.

A colon at the end inhibits the output of a carriage return / linefeed following the output of the last printed line.
