UniBasic Commands Reference - Rocket Software

Each item is separated by tabs as the result of the comma separation character. A
colon causes all data items to be concatenated.
The following program demonstrates the use of the colon at the end of the PRINT
statement to suppress the line feed issued by UniBasic at the end of displayed text.
The first PRINT statement does not end in a colon. Therefore, UniBasic issues a
carriage return and prints a question mark (the default prompt character). The second
PRINT statement ends in a colon. In this case, UniBasic displays the default prompt
character and waits on the same line with the PRINT statement.
PRINT "Enter character to display"
INPUT X
PRINT "The character you entered was(1): ":X
PRINT "Enter character to display":
INPUT X
PRINT "The character you entered was(2): ":X
This program produces the following output (with input from the
user):
Enter character to display
?*
The character you entered was(1): *
Enter character to display?#
The character you entered was(2): #
