I was wondering how to the ... to make a printf type function.  My current
project uses a screen buffer, but the function I use to write strings to the
buffer can only use one string at a time.  If I wanted to do a porintf type
effect, I have to do this:

char Text[81];

sprintf ( Text, "String A: %s, Number A: %d", StringA, NumB );
Print ( Text );

I would love to take out the business with Text[81] and sprintf.  I just
need to know how to use the ... ( elipse was it called? ).
