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 sini-
ply press the RETURN key to start a new line.
To see some examples, hold down the CON-
TROL key while typing the A, S, D, and F keys
(one
at a time).
SCREEN 1
Some very unusual characters are now on your
screen. Pressing other alphabet keys while hold-
ing down the CONTROL key produces addi-
tional unusual characters. These are graphics
symbols,
and you can put them together to
make pictures.
By pressing the
CONTROL key and then the
CAPS/LOWR key, you can put the computer into
what is called Control Letter Mode. In this mode,
you do not have to hold the CONTROL key to
get the graphics characters.
Let's try it. Hold down the CONTROL key and
press
the CAPS/LOWR key once. Then type the
A, S, D, and F keys again. You get the graphics
symbols again,
without having to hold down
the CONTROL key.
