Re: need sample for displaying text in a window

Maybe I don't understand the question. Putting a set of numbers into a
string is trivial so I suspect you're asking something else. To answer the
trivial question:

Step 1) convert the number into a string (see examples in source for . )
Step 2) do a CMOVE from the converted number string into your "Biometric
Status" string

Hint: you could define constants for the location of the start of each of
the substrings in "Biometric Status" to give you a named target for your
CMOVE

Caveats: you have to be careful that your number is not too big for the
target string. If you clamp the length of the CMOVE or use a fixed length
you don't get the whole number. Alternatively, if you do an unrestrained
CMOVE based on a COUNT you might overwrite some other part of your
"Biometric Status" string.
