===== CENTRE ✓ =====

===== SYNTAX =====
     CENTRE expression [;]

==== PURPOSE ====



The ''CENTRE'' (or ''CENTER'') command can be used to position text in the 
centre of the current line, and to save you the effort of calculating the text 
coordinates in order to achieve this. The CENTRE command takes a string, a variable
or a string expression, and it prints it in the middle of the line currently occupied 
by the cursor. If the statement is followed by a semicolon, the cursor 
will remain on the same line. Otherwise, it will move to the next line.



==== EXAMPLE ====
    CENTRE "HELLO!"
    CENTRE "HELLO!";
