	Print
Prints out the string or value on a line in the debug window
- STRING	Output
Text to display
- NONE	Return

This is a debug diagnostic call to allow text to easily be outputted during events to trace what a program is doing.

During an event, breakpoints can not be used. Calls like this help establish if a flowcharts logic is sound.

This example shows simple usage of both Print and PrintLn:
