Here we go with the wide variety of 'examples'.

What is the sanity of PRINTER ON, then PRINT then PRINTER OFF?

Should we not be teaching PRINTER ON once and PRINTER OFF at the end?

I've only seen the redundant PRINTER ON, then PRINT then PRINTER OFF when
the programmer didn't know of CRT and was providing some PRINT @(x,y):ID
running dialog.

Or what I sometimes did (especially useful when creating two or three reports from a single pass through a file...)

PRINT ON 1 ...

That was quite often used to generate a full report, summary, and stats, all in one pass.

Cheers,
Wol
