Not for Novices

Abstract

Have you ever wanted to print out a copy of the current screen from within a BASIC program? Being able to do so might be preferable to coding a long, special‐purpose series of LPRINT statements. After all, the screen is (presumably) already formatted—and the user is familiar with the format from using the program! It's a great idea, with one catch—there is no “Print Screen” command in BASIC. Well, here's a nifty 4‐line subroutine you can include in your BASIC program to allow you to print out a screen any time you want.
