-====== CHARAT command ======+====== CHARAT ======
  
 Syntax: Syntax:
  
   charat <byte or int x_pos>, <byte or int y_pos>, <byte or int screencode>   charat <byte or int x_pos>, <byte or int y_pos>, <byte or int screencode>
 +  
 +The ''CHARAT'' command outputs a character at the given x and y position on the screen. All arguments can be of byte or integer type.
 +
 +Example:
 +
 + rem this puts an 'A' near the center of the screeen
 + charat 20, 10, 65 
 +
 +Note that the runtime library will not check if the values are within the screen boundaries. As ''CHARAT'' is just a convenience wrapper around ''POKE'', it can overwrite memory locations other than the screen memory, thus damaging the program or data. Use it with special care.
