Value assigned to X will be lettered in current number format
( f i x e d o r f l o a t ).
Value resulting from expression X+1 is
lettered next, followed by value resulting from expression
X+2.
Digits in these expressions are lettered as string of
c h a r a c t e r s.
This requires you to add any spaces needed to fit
numbers into context of item being lettered.
For example, the following statement letters same expressions
as example above, with four spaces between each value.
lbl X, “
“, X+1, “
“,
X+2,
“
“
The following example letters characters contained in string
variable A$.
(String variable ROM is required.)
lbl A$
