These print statements print from top to bottom. But how can I get them to print on the same line (across) ?

+ Code Snippet

Print ( "some text" )
Print ( 123 )
Print ( 9.473 )

just concatenate with "+" and convert numbers to string with Str()

Print ("word ="+Upper(word$))
print("GetPointerX() ="+Str(GetPointerX()))

ETC ETC

or use a string variable

printstring as string

printstring = "word ="+Upper(word$)
printstring =printstring +"pass ="pass
printstring =printstring + "GetPointerX() ="+Str(GetPointerX())
printstring =printstring + "GetPointerY() ="+Str(GetPointerY())

Print(printstring)

Cant set the location of the text pointer Thats why we have the text commands

This may help just some commands how you use them is up to you

+ Code Snippet

iTextIndex=100
a$="text"
CreateText ( iTextIndex, a$ )
SetTextPosition( iTextIndex, fX, fY )
 b$="=something"
SetTextString( iTextIndex, a$+b$ )
DeleteText( iTextIndex )

Print should almost never be used in a game. It's pretty much just there for debugging purposes (to print info out to the screen quickly and easily).

Both concatenating strings and using printc() will work fine for what you want.
If you want to display text to the end user however, you should use the text commands

The answer depends on whether you're using Tier 1 or Tier 2. In Tier 1 (BASIC) you just use "printc" and in Tier 2 you can concatenate (C++ allows you to do so with "+" ).
