WRAPAROUND
At
this
point
you
should have nearly a
whole
line
of
characters,
with
the cursor near the end.
What
would
happen if
you
typed
so
many char-
acters
that
they
would
go
past the right edge
of
the screen?
When
you
try
to
put
more characters on a line
than
the
line can hold, they appear on the next
line. This feature
is
called wraparound. The cur-
sor moves one position
to
the right every time a
character appears on the screen,
but
it
moves
to
the
next line
when
it
runs
out
of
room on the
first line.
Let's
try
it.
Press
the Z key several times until the
cursor
is
at the far
right
of
the screen.

Now
press the Z key again. Where does the cur-
sor go?
It
goes all the
way
back
to
the left side,
only one
line lower.
