He said that pressing SHIFT will allow the screen printing to continue
when the print buffer is full. I meant that I didn't think that was
the case, and that it only applies to the paged mode (VDU14). I've
just tested it in BeebEm, and pressing SHIFT has no effect on the
screen when the print buffer is full. Pressing Escape however, will
clear the buffer.
