x, y, font: iexp
s$: sexp

The command ATEXT outputs character strings at arbitrary screen positions but,
unlike with ACHAR, no character style or output angle can be specified. The
parameters x, y, and font are the same as for ACHAR.

Example:

    OPENW 0                    !Protect the top line from overwriting
    EVERY 400 GOSUB a_clock    !Every 2 seconds call a_clock
    FOR i%=1 TO 100000
      PRINT USING "######",i%; !Display numbers
    NEXT i%
    '
    PROCEDURE a_clock
      ACLIP 1,20,0,120,15      !Switch clipping on,
      '                         otherwise it will remain as set by OPENW 0,
      '                         i.e. nothing will be seen
      ATEXT 20,20,2,TIME$      !Display the time
    RETURN

--> Numbers are printed continuously, but every 2 seconds a time display is
    updated on the top line.
