This command prints a variable's value on line five of the front panel dis-
play. For this purpose, line five is split in two fields, each 13 characters
long. The first field on the left is defined as number 1 and the one on the
right as number 2. Parameter xx selects which field the variable will be dis-
played on.
Writing to field number 1 erases the previous text on the entire line.
Writing to field number 2 erases the previous text only from field number 2.
This command is useful in monitoring the status and evolution of a com-
plex program.
