position is less than one character position from the right edge of the screen before all
characters are printed the command is terminated. L and B datatypes have a fixed
number of characters, one and three respectfully. A and F datatypes print as many
characters as they contain, 0 to 10 or 0 to 5 respectfully. C and H datatypes are printed
as 10 characters or as specified by the n parameter (5-9).

Characters written to the display screen are defined in a rectangular area referred to
as a cell. The 53MC5xxxB provides four cell sizes (character sets) 6x8, 4x8, 12x16
and 8x16. The 53MC5xxxA only supports the first two cell sizes. When a character
is written to the display it replaces the entire cell area. Cell selections for controller
display are specified by the following values of B09:
0 - 6x8
1 - 4x8
2 - 6x8 (user defined)
