It supports it via the supplied FNUSING library:

Code:
      INSTALL @lib$+"FNUSING"
      .....
      PRINT FNusing("#.####", PI)

This is somewhat more flexible than the traditional PRINT USING, since you can use it other than in the context of printing:

Code:
      num$ = FNusing("#.####", PI)
