Ah-HA! Thus, the higher-level educational purpose of such PRINTing is to
provide some sort of feedback to the novice, so that he can see, with one,
simple command, the computer performing as he instructed.
That purpose does not necessitate a PRINT statement at all. It doesn't
even necessitate a text message.
