Again,
the
letters
between
the
quotation
marks
are
printed.
You
can
tell
the
Atari
to
print
any
sequence
of
letters,
but
you
must
remember
to
put
them
between
quotation
marks.
Try
making
it
print
your
name.
You
don't
have
to
type

MANAGING

of
different
ways
to
alter
the
display.
The
Cursor
The
cursor
can
be
moved
around
the
screen
using
the
key
labelled
CONTROL
at
the
left
of
the
keyboard
and
the
four
keys
at
the
right
with
arrows
marked
on
them.
To move
the
cursor,
hold
down
the
CONTROL
key
and
press
one
of
the
arrowed
keys.
This
method
of
assigning
two
functions
to a
key
is
similar
to
the
use
of
a
SHIFT
key
on a
typewriter,
except
that
on
the
Atari
computer
it
is
taken
a
stage
further,
with
the
CONTROL
key
as
