Yup. It has a number of options that define how a number is printed, including moving the minus sign to the end, but if your number is variable length it may not help you.
You may also have to change 'TOTAL' to something like 'TT' because TO is a reserved word. Try: TT=2*17 print "TOTAL";mid$(str$(tt),2) m ----- Original Message ----- From: James Zeun To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, January 13, 2020 7:18 PM Subject: Re: [M100] Books on programming PRINT USING being the actual command?

PRINT "TOTAL=";2*17 TOTAL=34 On my M100 TOTAL= 34 The M100 inserts a space after the equal sign. When according to the book a semi colon should leave no space. -James On Thu, 9 Jan 2020, 10:31 pm Peter Vollan, <[email protected]> wrote: I know that there is a program called D20 for dice rolling.
