HyperC redirects output with _prtonly() /* just to the printer*/, _prtvid() /*
both printer and video*/, and _vidonly() /* video only*/.  Initialize with
_prtinit(slot) aand _vidinit().

You can also use prtWrite( TEXT *buffer, INT buflen) /* no it's not ANSI, but
this saves some space */ t oship out a buffer full of text, be sure to use
_prtinit so HyperC knows where to send the bytes. Oops, DON't use _prtinit,
prtWrite always goes to the printer, I think it assumes slot 1.

VOID purprt( CHAR ch) does the same thing for a single character (control
codes seems like a good use). prtWrite returns the number of characters
actually printed, all other calls are VOID.
