That doesn't put the overrun anywhere, and it assumes only one space
between words in the input. That syntax for the output placement would
help if I could put "next" there:
... set #0:=11 print ... ('nw',#0) print ... n ...
But it requires a number, and in the general case I don't necessarily
know what column I'm at in the output. If I could interrogate that, I
could pad without having to write the overrun separately or even build a
string expression:
... set #0:=outpos()+12 a nw ":" n "" (#0) ...
