statement/CHAR                                                 statement/CHAR
 
 NAME
     CHAR -- Prints string on a screen
 
 ABBREVIATION
     ch <shift> A

 SYNOPSIS
     CHAR [<color_src>],<left>,<top>,"<string>"[,<reverse_flag>]

 FUNCTION
     Text (alphanumeric strings) can be displayed on any screen at a given 
     location by the CHAR command. Character data is read from the computer 
     character ROM area. You supply the left (<left>) and top (<top>) 
     coordinates of the starting position and the text string (<string>) you 
     want to display, color (<color>) and reverse imaging (<reverse_flag>) 
     are optional.
     The string is continued on the next line if it attempts to print past 
     the right edge of the screen. When Used in TEXT mode, the string printed
     by the CHAR command works just like a PRINT string, including reverse 
     field, cursors, flash on/off, etc. These control functions inside the 
     string do not work when the CHAR command is used to display text in 
     GRAPHIC mode.

     <string>       - text to be printed
