EXAMPLE

SCREEN PUT_WIDE_CHARS USING MAIN_ID 'Western Region' &
5 39 NORMAL

This example puts "Western Region" at row 5 and columns 39-67 of the window. The size of each character is double wide.

NOTES: Each double-wide character occupies 2 normal character positions. An additional character space is automatically used at the beginning of the string that is specified. Therefore, to determine the ending position of a string, count the number of characters in the string, multiply by two, and add one.
