I checked out your problem and i think that it isn't really a bad bug of
blitz! It will be more a problem with the NPrint command, because i think
the NPrint commands read all the printed stuff by .b (byte) instead of .l
(long)! But i'am not really sure about that topic! Just try following and
see that the last two versions will work fine!
It seems that the NPrint command use for his first number/text .l to read
the number of chars to print and the rest (2nd number or text) it will be
read byte by byte!? Don't blame me for my english, thanks! ;)
