	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.
