<P>
<A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#write-string"><B>write-string</B></A> writes the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_c.htm#character"><I>characters</I></A> of the subsequence of <I>string</I> <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_b.htm#bounded"><I>bounded</I></A> by <I>start</I> and <I>end</I> to <I>output-stream</I>. <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#write-line"><B>write-line</B></A> does the same thing, but then outputs a newline afterwards. <P>
