programs you yourself write, and commercially available software
packages. The only time you operate in direct mode is when you
are manipulating or editing your programs with commands such
as LIST, LOAD, SAVE and RUN. As a rule, the difference between
direct mode and operation within a program is that direct mode
commands have no line numbers.
USING THE KEYBOARD
Shown below is the keyboard of the Commodore 128 Personal
Computer.
Using BASIC is essentially the same in both C64 and C128
modes. Most of the keys, and many of the commands you will
learn, can be used to program BASIC in either mode. The keys
that are shaded in the diagram above can be used in C64 mode.
ln C128 mode you can use all of the keys on the keyboard.
