SET DEVICE

    SET DEVICE determines whether @...SAY commands are routed to the screen
    or the printer.

Syntax

    SET DEVICE TO PRINT/SCREEN

Defaults

    SET DEVICE is normally set TO SCREEN.

Usage

    With SET DEVICE TO PRINT, the output from @...SAY commands is sent to
    the printer.  @...GET commands are ignored.  An @ command that
    specifies coordinates of lower values than previous @ commands results
    in a page eject.

    On some printers, @...SAYs may not appear until the print buffer is
    emptied.  To empty the buffer, issue an EJECT command or print a blank
    line.  EJECT resets the internal printer row and column values to zero.
    Additionally, you can specify new internal printer row and column
    values with SETPRC().
