command. Prints the input or inputs like PRINT, except that no
newline character is printed at the end and multiple inputs are not
separated by spaces. Note: printing to the terminal is ordinarily
"line buffered"; that is, the characters you print using TYPE will
not actually appear on the screen until either a newline character
is printed (for example, by PRINT or SHOW) or Logo tries to read
from the keyboard (either at the request of your program or after an
instruction prompt). This buffering makes the program much faster
than it would be if each character appeared immediately, and in most
cases the effect is not disconcerting. To accommodate programs that
do a lot of positioned text display using TYPE, Logo will force
printing whenever CURSOR or SETCURSOR is invoked. This solves most
buffering problems. Still, on occasion you may find it necessary to
force the buffered characters to be printed explicitly; this can be
done using the WAIT command. WAIT 0 will force printing without
actually waiting.
