Nvm the idiot that wrote this.  Sigh.  What I get for trying out the
/free.  Apparently to do the DSPLY I have to code
Dsply '' ' ' Result;

Heh.. incidentally, this is the way that DSPLY has always worked... the variable/literal in factor1 is just displayed on the screen. Factor2 is pretty much always blank (Yeah, I know, it has a purpose -- but I never use it, so I don't remember what the purpose is) The result field is a variable that you can request input into, and will cause the program to stop and wait for you to type something.


The only difference in /FREE is that you specify factor1 after the op-code, and have to use '' as a placeholder for the fields that you aren't specifying.

I agree that the following code is really ugly and awkward:
   DSPLY '' '' myfield;

Since I only use DSPLY for proof-of-concept programs anyway, I usually use the factor1 only (DSPLY myField;) and then look at the joblog to see what it said...
