Initializing help system before first use

# problem.writeprtsol

Purpose
This subroutine is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use problem.writePrtSol instead.
Writes the current solution to a fixed format ASCII file, problem_name .prt.
Synopsis
`problem.writeprtsol(filename, flags)`
Arguments

filename | A string of up to 200 characters containing the file name to which the solution is to be written. If omitted, the default problem_name will be used. The extension .prt will be appended.
flags | (optional) Flags for writeprtsol are:
x | write the LP solution instead of the current MIP solution.

Example
This example shows the standard use of this function, outputting the solution to file immediately following optimization:

    p.read("myprob", "")
    p.lpoptimize("")
    p.writeprtsol("", "")

Further information
1. The fixed width ASCII format created by this function is not as readily useful as that produced by problem.writeSol. The main purpose of writeprtsol is to create a file that can be sent directly to a printer. The format of this fixed format ASCII file is described in the Xpress Optimizer reference manual.
2. To create a prt file for a previously saved solution, the solution must first be loaded with the problem.readBinSol function.
