NAME: TEXT, LTEXT, HTEXT, LHTEXT
SYNTAX: TEXT <string>
LTEXT <string>
HTEXT <string>
LHTEXT <string>
DESCRIPTION:
TEXT and LTEXT are two variations of the same command. TEXT will
tell the display module to place a string on the screen. LTEXT will
place a string on the screen, but will append a linefeed to the end of
it.
HTEXT and LHTEXT are exactly the same except that they will print
to the screen in a highlight colour.
EXAMPLES:
TEXT 'No CR after this string. Use for prompts: '
LTEXT 'This string will print and send a CR.'
LTEXT this will GoOut in All caPITals
HTEXT 'In a different colour, with no linefeed.'
LTEXT 'Also in the highlight colour, but with a linfeed.'
NOTES:
Use TEXT to send prompts for user input. LTEXT is for regular text.
Any unquoted string will go out as all capital letters.
All strings follow standard ARexx conventions for quoting, using
hex or binary data, etc. All 'escape sequences' supported by the Amiga
console device will be recoignized.
