Custom Text Formatting (Previously: Getting long results in a program)

[Guenter Schink]

Hi Piotr and Tyann,

I've had a look at the help texts. The German text seems to be o.k. when compared to the English text. One might argue about capitalizing words in some places, but I think it's o.k. as they stand in just as vocabulary for parameters. For me it works as it is.

However, nitpicking perhaps, the target for the output isn't a "screen". Output is directed to a "graphics variable (G0..G9)" ("Grafikvariable") aka GROB which may be displayed on the screen.

And a question: You state that the maximum width of the string is 320. I didn't find such a limit in the documentation for TEXTOUT_P. Is this limit specific for ATEXTOUT_P (length of ICON buffer), thus breaking compatibility (in probably very rare cases), or did I simply miss this information?
