9.23 Write

The `write` command accepts a double-quoted argument and writes it followed by an EOL to the console (standard output). There is no need to double any double quotes occurring within the string.

    Syntax:
       write = "write" s string
    Examples:
       write "Now about to start the next test."
       write "No need to " double enclosed double quotes."

The `write` command was added so as to allow regression testing scripts to inform the user of their progress.
