qqout--Write Output to stdout (Function)

The qqout function writes the string representation of each argument in a list to stdout. A single space is automatically placed between each argument. The set console and set alternate commands can redirect or suppress the output. Subsequent output calls using ?, ??, qout() or qqout() will place their output immediately after the original output, so ?? or qqout() are typically used to construct output lines using several invocations.

The function has the following syntax:

qqout([x,...]) 

x

(Optional) Defines a list of arguments to display. If the list is empty, a linefeed character is printed.

This function does not return a value.

Examples

Print three column headers with separating spaces:

??  "Col1"
??  "  "
??  "Col2"
??  "  "
?  "Col3"

The third label is printed using the ? function so the cursor moves to the beginning of the next line.
