Print (Display the ASCII String)
You can use the print function to echo a string to the screen. The following example
shows how you can use ASCII or hex with the print command.
dev1: print "hello"
hello
dev1: print "and\r\n\x67\x6f\x6f\x64\x62\x79\x65"
and
goodbye
You can also use print to display comments from indirect files. The print string
appears even if the display is suppressed with the - function.
Buffer (Set Buffer Display Mode)
You can set the type of display used for buffers to control how much of the buffer is
displayed. full displays the entire buffer, brief displays the first and last eight bytes
of the buffer, ascii displays the entire buffer in ASCII mode, and off displays none of
the buffer.
