Description

Print At(column, row) followed by an expression, performs the output of this expression at the cursor position defined by column and row. Print At() without any parameters performs a line feed. The list of parameters after Print At() can contain other At() instructions which then apply to printing of expressions following after them. i.e. at the corresponding column and row.

Print ATXY(column, row) is the same as Print At(column, row) and Print ATYX(row, column) different only in the order of the parameters - it states the row first, not the column.
