Description:
First the bow is plotted separately. Then cycle X runs over the different columns of the image and the cycle Y runs over the different lines. The CHR$ code of the character to be printed is computed checking for X and Y the condition of being either 0, 9, 18 or not. At the end of each line an extra print produces the needed carriage return.
Comments:
I did not find a way to squeeze it in a single line, printing the bow takes too many characters for itself... :-(
