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.
MOVE 10100101, DISPLAY_REGISTER
It has to be something immediately intelligible. The above isn't that.
Somehow, most newbies aren't as fascinated by the ability to directly
manipulate bit patterns (not to mention their ignorance about binary maths) as
the ability to print their name on the screen.
