1. Obscure commands, part 1

Years ago I was involved with the defunct Hampton Roads TSUG, and I
compiled a list of commands that were barely or not at all mentioned
in the 2068 manual. To liven up things, I'll present them here.
1. PRINT #n [n = 0, 1, 2, 3, . . .]
PRINT #0 and PRINT #1 use the bottom portion of the screen where the
error messages appear. Up to 22 lines are possible using AT x,y.
Attributes such as BRIGHT, OVER, and INK are not available.
PRINT #2 is the same as PRINT, using the top portion of the display.
All attributes are available.
PRINT #3 is the same as LPRINT and sends output to the T/S 2040
printer.
PRINT #4 and up return an error message O (invalid stream). These
were probably meant for use with future peripherals.
