 -=> Quoting David Williams to Sam Andrews <=-
 DW> WRITE #1, A$; B$; C$
 Atleast on my system, QB doesn't allow semi-commas in the write command,
 it automaticaully changes them to commas(,). :>
 DW> If a string contains a comma, for example:
 DW> X$ = "Testing, testing"
 DW> WRITE#1, X$ will put into the file:
 DW> "Testing, testing"
 DW> PRINT# will put:
 DW> Testing, testing
 DW> If the program that reads the file has the command:
 DW> INPUT #1, Q$
 DW> In the WRITE# case, Q$ will contain:
 DW> Testing, testing
 DW> The PRINT# case will make Q$ contain just:
 DW> Testing
 DW> The comma will have been interpreted as a delimiter.
 True, but if you use Print #1 then use Line Input #1 to get the
 information, the comma will not come into play. :>
