di_SAY()
Replacement for @..SAY Function to output to multiple device types
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax

    di_SAY(<nTop>,<nLeft>,<cString>,[<cPict>],[<cColor>]) --> nSuccessList

Arguments

    <nTop> and <nLeft> specify the row and column coordinates for
    the operation.  <nTop> must be between 0 and MAXROW(), and <nLeft>
    between 0 and MAXROW() for screen output.  For HTML output, values must
    simply be zero or greater.  Output fails for those devices for which
    values are out of range (devices with sucssessful output are listed in
    the return value).

    <cString> specifies a character expression which will be sent
    to all devices whose output is enabled.

    <cPict> contains the display format and editing rules for the GET.

    <cColor> contains the color settings for the current Get object.
    <cColor> is a character expression containing one or more color
    settings.  You must specify literal color settings enclosed in quote
    marks.

Returns

    nSuccessList is the sum of the devices handles successfully
    written to.  Only devices currently set to output are addressed;
    therefore, nSuccessList is always less than or equal to the current
    return value from di_setOutput().

Description

    Send a string to an output device in a specified position.
    Optionally, a COLOR and/or a PICTURE expression may be used to
    modify the appearance of the string.
