I have just received Turbo Basic in the mail started playing around with it
when I ran into the following problem:

number = 555
print using "print abrv. number at this point ###";number
 
This should print the following 

print abrv. number at this point 555

But this is what happens

print abrv%555 number at this point

Am I doing something wrong..   This seems to be a large draw back if you
can not use a . in a string for the format of a print using.

Has anyone else run into this problem and how do you get around it?
