TEXT

    TEXT is used to display blocks of text to the screen or printer.  The
    command provides a simple, convenient way to write to the output
    device.

Syntax

    TEXT [TO PRINT] [TO FILE <file>]
    <text>...
    ENDTEXT

Argument

    <text> is the block of literal characters to display to the screen.
    Text is displayed exactly as formatted.

Options

    Print: The TO PRINT clause echoes the display to the printer.

    File: The TO FILE clause echoes the display to the specified
    <file>.  If no extension is specified, (.txt) is added.

Usage

    Macro variables found within TEXT..ENDTEXT are expanded.  Note,
    however, that TEXT..ENDTEXT has no provision for word-wrapping.  Text
    is displayed exactly as encountered.
