ABOUT THE EXERCISES
The first group of exercises in this chapter intro-
duce you to the keys on your keyboard. These
keyboard exercises can be done either in the
Memo Pad Mode or with the BASIC cartridge in-
stalled in
your computer. Additional exercises on
using the BASIC language are provided for Atari
owners who have the BASIC cartridge.
IF YOU HAVE A 400 OR 800, you can do the
keyboard exercises in
Memo Pad Mode . If you
have a BASIC cartridge for your 400 or 800, you
. can do the keyboard exercises either in Memo
Pad Mode orwith the BASIC cartridge installed;
then
you can go on to the additional exercises
on using the BASIC language with the BASIC
cartridge installed.
IF YOU HAVE A J 200XL, you must insert a
BASIC cartridge to do the keyboard exercises.
Then
you'll be ready to go on to the exercises
on using
the BASIC language.
The computer functions somewhat differently in '
BASIC than it does in Memo Pad Mode . In some
of the keyboard exercises, you will be given
different instructions for Memo Pad Mode and
BASIC. Follow the instructions for the mode you
are using.
The exercises also point out where there are dif-
ferences among the
400, 800, and J 200XL mod-
els. Follow the instructions for the Atari com-
puter you are using.
