Text output

If the output you are sending to the terminal is simply text, and you do not need to format the screen for subsequent input, you do not need to create a map. BMS provides a different command expressly for this purpose: SEND TEXT, which formats without maps.

When you use SEND TEXT, BMS breaks your output into pages of the proper width and depth for the terminal to which it is directed. Lines are broken at word boundaries, and you can add header and trailer text to each page if you wish. Page size is determined as it is for other BMS output (see The SEND PAGE command).
