S2 - Mode ("open", "print", "explore")
N  - Displaymode (as in  @WinExec)

S  : String - Fontname
N1 : Wert - Hights of the char
N2 : Wert - Width of the char

N4 : Wert - Italic? (0 .. 1)
N5 : Wert - Underlined? (0 .. 1)

%POS        - current row in textmode (BASIC: POS(0))
%ERRORLEVEL - current Errorlevel


-------------
8. Operators (ab 6.5)
-------------

Operators are allowed!

1.  ^              (Power, as @POW)
2.  MOD AND * / \  (NOTE: AND as Operator is logical,
                    the Function @AND is binary)
3.  OR + -         (NOTE: OR as Operator is logical,
                    the Function @OR is binary)
4.  = > <
5.  <> >= <=


Brackets are allowed as in BASIC:  LET C% = 5 * (A% + B%)

NOTE: Differences in the strength of operators between BASIC and PROFAN. In BASIC the
">" is stronger than "AND", in PROFAN the "AND" is stronger, so it os neccesary to
use brackets (like in PASCAL):

BASIC:  If A% > 6 AND A% <= 20 THEN
           ...
        End If
PROFAN: If (A% > 6) AND (A% <= 20)
           ...
        EndIf

If the sign "-" ist between parameters (so in the command WINDOW),
it is neccesary to use brackets, if you will make a substraction:

  Window a%,(b% - 5) - (c% - 6),500
