  Geez, the BASIC list is starting to get a little mail for the first time 
in a while..
  On the 83 there is a command "Output(" that uses word wrap. For instance, 
if I had the following:

Output(1,1,"THIS IS A TEST MESSAGE"

the message would start at the coordinates (1,1) and wrap to the next line.
