Print some Glish values

Synopsis
printvalues(values, needcr, usegui)

Arguments

values	in	Glish variable to be printed
		Allowed:	any
needcr	in	Do we need carriage returns at the end of every line?
		Allowed:	boolean
		Default:	T
usegui	in	Use the GUI?
		Allowed:	boolean
		Default:	F

Description
This function formats a Glish variable (which might be an array), writes it into a temporary file, and prints it and then removes the temporary file. needcr normally needs to be True, the only time it doesn't is if you are printing a Glish string which already has embedded new lines.

Example

- p := printer(display=T)  # use ghostview
- p.printvalues(1:100)     # show 1 2 ... 100 in it
