Format
.output *control* *text*
Sends output to a control. The text does not need quotes, but any backslashes, newlines, and tabs should be escaped with a backslash. This works similarly to the output() proc. If text is omitted, the control is cleared.
Here is an example of using a map control’s **BROKEN LINK: /skin/params/on-status** event to set a label rather than using the window’s own statusbar.
.output statuslabel [[* as escaped]]
