I found some documentation in the sbasic program module, which I posted below, but it seems my issue is because I am printing from a text EDITOR field. Printing from a text BOX gives good results.

alignment is an optional argument indicating how the text should be aligned. If no alignment is specified, text will be aligned left.
Valid alignment values as defined in the sbasic_include.sbas file are:
PRINTSTRING_ALIGN_LEFT
PRINTSTRING_ALIGN_RIGHT
PRINTSTRING_ALIGN_CENTER

My program is simple (message is a multi-line text box):
newpage(850,1100)
printstring(message, 22,100,600,"verdana",12,0)
finishpage()

Hi Steve,

I ran into some trouble last year with email addresses in a PrintString command. There are actually two issues.

1. First issue is that you need to double up the @ symbol, or else all text that comes after it (in the same field) will not print with PrintString. The fix for that is easy and works very well, as shown here.

// Must double "@". Otherwise it, and anything after it, will not print from that field.
PrintString(@Replace(Email, "@", "@@"), 70, 300, 0, vFont1, vSizeReg, 0) 

2. Second issue is that word-wrap refuses to function properly within a PrintString command if the field contains an @ symbol (even if you double that symbol). I had to resort to changing the @ symbol with something that 'looked' close to it. I used "®". It's not perfect, but that was the best I could do. I did not change it in the field. I just replaced it within the PrintString command, similar to the code above, using @Replace(Email, "@", "®").

It's written up here, Steve. We're looking into it.

This problem also occurs in @MSGBOX() command. (text in the message box is dropped after the '@' symbol.)

The "@" is a command introduction character in the GUI that Sesame uses. So while it can be used to cause certain effects, it is not documented or recommended in that it is not a Sesame command but a command of the underlying GUI library. For example, in some types of "widgets" the following commands can be introduced using the "@" sign:

   * @. Print rest of line, don't look for more '@' signs
   * @@ Print rest of line starting with '@'
   * @l Use a large (24 point) font
   * @m Use a medium large (18 point) font
   * @s Use a small (11 point) font
   * @b Use a bold font (adds FL_BOLD to font)
   * @i Use an italic font (adds FL_ITALIC to font)
   * @f or @t Use a fixed-pitch font (sets font to FL_COURIER)
   * @c Center the line horizontally
   * @r Right-justify the text
   * @B0, @B1, ... @B255 Fill the backgound with fl_color(n)
   * @C0, @C1, ... @C255 Use fl_color(n) to draw the text
   * @F0, @F1, ... Use fl_font(n) to draw the text
   * @S1, @S2, ... Use point size n to draw the text
   * @u or @_ Underline the text.
   * @- draw an engraved line through the middle.

In some other "widgets" the @ sign can be used to make arrows or other symbols appear. This is why it is necessary to double the "@" sign, so as to tell the GUI that you are not introducing a command. I believe that this has appeared here in the forum before and may well have appeared in Inside Sesame.
