10. CALCULATE PRINT POSITION? ┘┼╙
COMPUTER CALCULATES THE MAXIMUM LENGTH OF THE LINE, AND TELLS WHERE EACH FIELD STARTS:

13. ENTER 0-80 OR RETURN:
-IF RETURN IS ENTERED, GET GOBBLYGOOK IN PRINTOUT.
-IN ABOVE EXAMPLE: SET FIELD 0 AT 05, THEN FIELD 1 MUST START (05+16) OR AT LEAST AT 21. ┴DD ONE FOR READABILITY, OR AT 22. ╞IELD 2 MUST START AT (22+13) OR AT LEAST 35. ┴DD ONE FOR READABILITY OR 36. ╞IELD 3 MUST START AT (36+9) OR 45. ╘HESE ARE THE MINIMUM NUMBERS ONE SHOULD ENTER AT PROMPT 13.
