Atari 400 - Page 75

In case you were not convinced earlier that hit-
ting the SPACEBAR really does put a blank char-
acter
on the screen, here is your proof . An in-
verse blank shows up as a completely filled in
white box which looks like the cursor. Type a
series
of spaces and you'll get a white line.
SCREEN 3
After the novelty of the Inverse Mode has worn off,
you can return to a normal screen display. To do this,
press the INVERSE key again. That second press of
the INVERSE key turns the Inverse Mode off.
IF YOU ARE USING BASIC. use the SPACEBAR to
move the cursor to the.start of the next line. IF YOU
ARE IN MEMO PAD MODE, you can simply press
the
RETURN key to start a new line.
Type your name, so you can see for yourself.
SCREEN 4
Every time you press the INVERSE key, you'll
turn the Inverse Mode either on or off. Using the
Inverse Mode can help you create interesting
graphics displays
on the screen. You'll learn how
to display graphics characters later in these exer-
cises.
