Description

The T PROC command controls terminal display. It displays a specified text and performs other terminal display operations.

A text string may be delimited with single quotes ('abc'), double quotes ("abc"), or backslashes (\abc\). By default, the text string is followed by an automatic line return. If text is omitted, T just issues a line return. If text is specified, the optional + character suppresses the line return following text.

You can specify multiple terminal display arguments as a comma-separated list. Arguments are executed in left-to-right order. You can introduce a line break into comma-separated argument list following a comma. No automatic line return is performed between items in a T command argument list. If there are multiple arguments, the optional + character can only appear following the final argument.

The T command ignores any code or code component that it cannot parse, and proceeds to the next comma-separated argument. For example, T C,"hello world" and T CLEAR,"hello world" perform the same operations; the LEAR letters are ignored.
