FW: solve "abs(x)=2" and question in "print" function

Did you get this.  Not sure if my email is working.



Resending.

I made a typo.

sprint(concat("Hi There,", ascii(10),"My Name is Maxima.", ascii(10), "How are you today"))$

I forgot the s before sprint,

sorry.

========================================
Dear Adam 
         thanks your solution. but this question is a algebraic equation.
|x|=2
it solution ! is x=2, -2
---------------------------------------------------------
the next solution is from Professor  Barton Willis (willisb at unk.edu)
 
The undocumented function to_poly_solve can solve this equation.
To use to_poly_solve, you'll need to load the file 'topoly_solver.'
An example:

(%i4) load('topoly_solver')$

(%i5) to_poly_solve(abs(x)=2,x);
(%o5) [[x=2],[x=-2]]

If you want to find all complex solutions, to_poly_solve doesn't work:

(%i6) declare(x,complex)$

(%i7) to_poly_solve(abs(x)=2,x);
(%o7) [[x=2],[x=-2]]

=======================================

=================Question in print================== 
so, the visual effects are not good-looking
How to skip to the next line?
Does the 'print ' function include 'skip' function'?
==============================================
