  Arguments
 
    TextString    Text to be displayed
 
    length        Total number of characters to be displayed
 
  Description
 
    The _OutMem procedure displays a specified number of characters
    from memory, starting at the beginning of the string argument.
    Unlike the _OutText procedure, _OutMem prints all characters
    literally, including ASCII 10 (LF), 13 (CR), and 0 (NULL), as the
    equivalent graphics characters. The argument length defines the
    number of characters to be displayed.
 
    Text is displayed using the current text color, starting at the
    current text position. No formatting or length checking is
    provided. If the length argument is greater than the length of the
    string, then the next characters in memory following the string
    will be displayed.
