370REM Lines 30 & 40 work together to
Center the programme but unfortunatly it
generates two Spurious Characters ( aE )
on the First line and line 50 absorbs it
so please cut it off your printout
380:
390REM The one fault is that the
canceling statement VDU1,27,1,97,0 will
not cancel the centering statement so if
you find out why please let me know the
result --- Fred Price.
