 Usage 
 VSCRPUT writes text vertically on the screen rather than horizontally. 
  Like the SCRPUT command, it uses the colors you specify to write the 
 text.  VSCRPUT can be used for simple graphs and charts generated by 
 batch files.  VSCRPUT always leaves the cursor at the end of the 
 displayed text.  See Colors and Color Names for details about colors and 
 notes on the use of bright background colors. 
 The row and column are zero-based, so on a standard 25 line by 80 column 
 display, valid rows are 0 - 24 and valid columns are 0 - 79.  VSCRPUT 
 checks for a valid row and column, and displays a "Usage" error message 
 if either value is out of range. 
 You can also specify the row and column as offsets from the current 
 cursor position.  Begin the value with a plus sign [+] to move down the 
 specified number of rows or to the right the specified number of columns 
 before displaying text, or with a minus sign [-] to move up or to the 
 left. 
 If you specify 999 for the row, VSCRPUT will center the text vertically 
 on the display.  If you specify 999 for the column, VSCRPUT will center 
 the text horizontally. 
 VSCRPUT does not move the cursor when it displays the text. 
 The following batch file fragment displays an X and Y axis and labels 
 them: 

 
         cls bright white on blue
         drawhline 20 10 40 1 bright white on blue
         drawvline 2 10 19 1 bright white on blue
         scrput 21 20 bright red on blue X axis
         vscrput 8 9 bright red on blue Y axis
 
 
 VSCRPUT checks for a valid row and column, and displays a "Usage" error 
 message if either value is out of range.
