• expression Any of the three parameter types above, where the value should match whatever is applicable, e.g. string-expression for a string variable, etc.
• string-variable A string variable name, e.g. mystr$
• integer-variable An integer variable name, e.g. val
• real-varaible A real varaible name, e.g. radius#

• printable A list of one or more of all of the above choices, separated by , or ;, and optionally terminated by a ;. If the list is not terminated by a ; symbol, a line feed is added to the end of the output created. When separating values, a , causes the values to be separated by tabulation, otherwise there is no spacing between the values.
