?AX

Syntax

── ? ─┬──────────────┬─ AX ─┬──────────────┬───────────────────────────%
      └─<mix number>─┘      ├─────┬─<text>─┘
                            └─ : ─┘

Explanation

The ?AX command passes text to a running program either in response to, or in anticipation of, an ACCEPT statement. If a mix number is not specified, the currently running program is assumed. If the colon is used, leading blanks are not removed from the text. If the colon is omitted, leading blanks are removed before the text is presented to the program.

Example
