tcl.display

outputs text on the terminal.
May be used in macros and PROCs to display messages to the screen.

If 'message.text' is terminated by a plus sign (+), the trailing carriage return is suppressed.

'message.text' is either regular text, the following special characters, or any combination of them:

@(x{,y})
Positions cursor at the specified 'x,y' coordinates where 'x' indicates the row position and 'y' indicates the column position.

@(-x)
Generates the corresponding video attributes. The values of 'x' are the exactly the same as the values of the Pick/BASIC '@ function'.

@({x}N)
Generates 'x' carriage returns. If 'x' is omitted, only one carriage return is generated.

@({x}B)
Generates 'x' bells. If 'x' is omitted, only one bell is generated.

@(O[n|.x])
Generates one character whose decimal representation is 'n', or hexadecimal representation is 'x', preceded by a period. Valid values are from 0 to 254 decimal (x'00' to x'FE'). Valid on 6.1 and later only.

`command`
The result of the execution of 'command', between back quotes, is substituted in place of 'command'.
