This example prompts the user for team names and the names of
players on each team. It then prints the players and their teams
on the printer.
 
CLS                                ' Clear screen
LPRINT"Team Members"; TAB(76); "TEAM" : LPRINT
INPUT "How many teams"; TEAMS
INPUT "How many players per team";PPT
PRINT
FOR T = 1 TO TEAMS
    INPUT "Team name: ", TEAM$
    FOR P = 1 TO PPT
        INPUT "   Enter player name: ", PLAYER$
        LPRINT PLAYER$;
        IF P < PPT THEN
            IF LPOS(0) > 55 THEN     'Print a new line if print
                                     'head past column 55.
                LPRINT : LPRINT "     ";
            ELSE
                LPRINT ", ";         'Otherwise, print a comma.
            END IF
        END IF
    NEXT P
    LPRINT STRING$(80-LPOS(0)-LEN(TEAM$),"."); TEAM$
NEXT T
