DAY 039: VIEW PRINT

[SMcNeill]

6) Remember when printing to the bottom of the screen to end your print statement with a semi-colon, so it doesn't scroll.

Sometimes printing a character at the most bottom-right corner with "PRINT" scrolls regardless of presence of semicolon. This happened to me while I created this GIF file:

I was forced to create another buffer which excluded the totally-black text line at the bottom. Actually off-topic because I didn't use "VIEW PRINT" for the program that created those images for the GIF file, but the thing about using "PRINT" on the bottom-most line is historical (not hysterical?) and even a semicolon might not prevent scrolling.

You need to use LOCATE and then PRINT with a semicolon, to print on the bottom 2 lines of the screen without scrolling happening.
