It depends on which version of PowerBASIC you're using, and what you're 
trying to accomplish.

Both PB/DOS and PB/CC have PRINT USING (look for USING in the help file); all 
versions have USING$ (which is different from USING; again, look for USING$ 
in the help file).

If you're specifically looking for console output, you need PB/CC.
