• Use a semicolon after text that will be printed on the last two text rows of a screen mode to prevent screen rolling.
• INPUT statements can use the semicolon before the text to prevent screen rolling. INPUT ; "text or question"; variable.
• A semicolon after the text will create a question mark and space after the INPUT text question. Use a comma for statements.
• NOTE: Semicolons can NOT be used to combine string variables in a string variable definition!
• Use the + concatenation operator to combine string variable definition values only!
