If what you are looking for is format control, you can use the format
keyword to print. Using Fortran-style formats, it could be something
like:

print,wave_special[2], wave_special[1], wave_special[2]-
wave_special[1],format='(3E22.15)'

See the help on print for more details on format codes, including how
to use C-style formats.
