| LPRINT and LPRINT USING Details |
| |
| Syntax 1 |
| LPRINT [expressionlist][{;|,}] |
| Syntax 2 |
| LPRINT USING formatstring; expressionlist[{;|,}] |
| |
| These statements function in the same way as the PRINT and PRINT |
| USING statements except that output goes to the line printer and |
| the filenumber option is not permitted. |
| |
| The LPRINT statement assumes an 80-character-wide printer. This |
| width can be changed with a WIDTH LPRINT statement. |
| |
| ----- Warning ----- |
| Since the LPRINT statement uses the LPT1 printer device, you should |
| not use LPRINT in a program that also contains an OPEN LPT1 statement. |
| Using these two statements together produces unpredictable results. |

| Differences from BASICA |
| |
| If you do LPRINT CHR$(13), BASIC actually outputs LPRINT CHR$(13) and |
| LPRINT CHR$(10). This feature was created to provide compatibility |
| between Microsoft BASIC and IBM BASICA. |
