The ability
to
insert material
is
one
of
the mar-
vels
of
the computer,
so
let's
see
how
it
works
on
your
Atari. First clear the screen
by
pressing a
SHIFT
key
with
the
CLEAR
key.
Then type
I
LIKE
CAKE.
Your
sentence appears on the screen.
SCREEN

Now
use the CONTROL key
with
the
LEFT
ARROW key
to
place the cursor on
top
of
the C
in CAKE.
SCREEN 2
Press
the CONTROL key and the > /
INSERT
key.
What
happens? All the characters
to
the
right
of
the cursor on the line shifted one place
to
the
right
creating
.a
space for a
new
character.
Press
this key combination nine more times.

Now
type
CHOCOLATE
and
you
have a
new
sentence.

This editing feature comes in very
handy
when
you
forget
a
word
or
want
to
change the
order
of
words
. But perhaps
you
need
to
add more
than a
word-perhaps
you
need
to
add a
whole
line.
To
do
that
you
have
to
use
the
SHIFT
key
with
the > /INSERT
key.
