POS Function Programming Example
 
This example uses POS to start a new line after every 40 characters.
 
CLS                       ' Clear screen
PRINT "This program starts a new line after every 40"
PRINT "characters you type. Press <CTRL-C> to end."
PRINT
DO
   DO WHILE POS(0) < 41   'Stay on same line until 40 characters
      DO                  'printed.
         Char$ = INKEY$
      LOOP WHILE Char$ = ""
      'If input is key combination CTRL-C then end; otherwise,
      'print the character.
      IF ASC(Char$) = 3 THEN END ELSE PRINT Char$;
   LOOP
   PRINT                  'Print a new line.
LOOP
