Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

When working with text is there an advantage/preference to using Text or Print @?

Here's what I've seen
Print will print numbers with a default format.
Print can print with default coordinates (from a previous Print or Text command).

The main use for Print@ is to position text on the console screen.

For an attached screen Text is usually the better option.

If you use OPTION LCDPANEL NOCONSOLE you can then have different displays on the two screens as Print@ will then only go to the console while Text only goes to the attached screen.

Edit.
The word LCDPANEL also applies to the VGA screen.
