Dear List,
Newbie looking for info on print position and screen position control. I
want the system to display something to an exact location on the screen, or
on a printer.
With Business Basic, one says something like:
print @(20,15) -- for screen control
and
print @(20) for position control within the current line -- for print control
What does one do in gcc for this functionality? I realize that this may be
totally different for the screen when using proportional fonts but for a
printer, if you are printing to forms, you need to use a non-proportional
font in order to get the columns to line up properly.
TIA,
Andrew L.
