PRINT USING BASIC 7.0 command

The BASIC code can be used within the keyword RATES, but also for USER GRAPH, USER PRINT and USER-PUNCH and always occurs between the commands... 

There are three ways to switch between 40 and 80 columns toggle the 40/80 switch and press RUN/STOP-RESTORE, press ESC-X in BASIC, or enter the command SCREEN 0 for 40 columns, or SCREEN 5 for 80 columns. Remember that these screens are independent. If you have two monitors hooked up, these commands reroute screen printing to the appropriate monitor (although both screens remain displayed). Commodore s 1902 monitor is ideal for the 128 it has built-in color composite video, split-signal composite video (as used on the rear connections of the 1701/ 1702 monitor), IBM-compatible RGB, and analog RGB (for use with the Amiga). With the 1902, you must manually flip a switch after you change screen modes. 

Also, check all the BASIC keywords to make sure they re spelled correctly. You may have mistakenly abbreviated LEN as L SHIFT-E (which turns out to be the abbreviation for LET, not LEN). If you are writing to disk or tape files, you should note that the command PRINT is distinct from the ordinary PRINT. The abbreviation for PRINT is P SHIFT-R (not ) using a question mark won t work when you re working with tape or disk files. 

There are two commands for reading (INPUT and GET ) and one for writing (PRINT ). (Note that there is no space before the number sign.) These three BASIC keywords differ from the usual INPUT, GET, and PRINT. If you abbreviate, don t use for PRINT it won t work. P SHIFT-R is the correct short form for PRINT. ... 

The software can snpport three types of printers. Each printer is capable of displayina identical information if necessaiy. However, the format is different for each case. The first printer has 132 characters/line the others 80 and 32. (See APPENDIX C for examples.) Printouts are supphed locally and to partners wishing to tie into an asynchronous port with their own equipment. The printouts need not be identical. That is, the information printed for our billing purposes may not be identical to others, or they just may like to see additional data points. Whatever the case may be, various files are built with the desired information and outputted using various FORMAT modules. These modules, respond to basic directive commands and are directed through a serial communication link to external egnipment.
