The print statement is a bit of a misnomer, since it displays items to the screen. The command was named when printing terminals were used with time sharing systems. There are several variations.
The PRINT is used to display to the terminal or to write to a file. The LPRINT is just like the PRINT and is used to print to a printer. The PRINT USING prints with more formatting than PRINT, which will be discussed later.
One or more expressions follow the command. These are separated by commas or semicolons. A comma indicates that the items are to placed in columns; the semicolons indicate that the items have minimal space between them.
