ugBASIC User Manual

   CENTRE expression [;]

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.

  CENTRE "HELLO!"
  CENTRE "HELLO!";
