Another way to do output is whenever any non-space is moved, that character is output, and you could do input by setting a parameter which character(s) are replaced by the input, and it changes to spaces or non-spaces depending on if the input bit is zero or one. --Zzo38 20:56, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Any non-space? If you do that, backspace will become quite a common character in the average Black program! --ais523 14:22, 1 Jun 2006 (UTC)
No, only ASCII 33 to 126. This isn't supposed to be a normal output or input at all, it is more like debugging input and output. For many program you still can use the 0-9 and N format of output. Maybe one command-line switch to replace them with the corresponding ASCII characters, for example 33N32N33N corresponds to "! !". --Zzo38 16:57, 1 Jun 2006 (UTC)
That's how the Hello World program works. --ais523 07:20, 5 Jun 2006 (UTC)
