TITLE: OPL Hint for the morning

Most of you know that when writing text files you can  get
far more  control by  using LPRINT  to a  file instead  of
IOWRITE.  However,  to  be  totally  flexible,  you   will
probably want to be able to  print to the screen as  well.
But this can lead to a horrible mixture of both PRINT  and
LPRINT statements, punctuated by IFs and ELSEs.

Instead, just use LPRINT and redirect it to the screen  as
in this example:

PROC PatchLP:
  POKEW PEEKW($1C)+$1A,PEEKW(PEEKW($1C)+$1C)

  LPRINT "By using LPRINT instead of PRINT"
  LPRINT "You can send output *anywhere!*"
  LPRINT "and YES, it's *legal* too!"
  GET
ENDP

I guess it's possible that in future you might need to POKEW a
zero back when you've done, but I doubt it.

Jezar.
