Ah, yes! PRINT AT. I didn't know PETSCII had control characters to place the cursor, but in any case, I think everyone will agree that's more obscure than a nice high-level PRINT AT statement.
(Still, I'd love to go back in time and tell my young self that I could use control characters instead!)
PS: pretty sure there was at least one BASIC that had a LOCATE command, or am I confusing programming languages?
PPS: well, duh! It was GW-BASIC that had LOCATE. No wonder I remembered the command, GW-BASIC was my first true love and the first language with which I actually programmed games.
