Mode
The entire BASIC 2.0 language built into the Commodore 64 com
puter has been incorporated into the BASIC 7.0 language of the
Commodore 128. You can use the BASIC 2.0 commands in both
C128 and C64 modes. Refer to Sections 3 and 4 in Chapter II for a
description of these commands.
In the keyboard illustration in Section 3, the shaded keys are the
ones that can be used in C64 mode. The keyboard in C64 mode has
the same two character sets as in C128 mode:
—Upper-case/graphic character set
—Upper/lower-case character set
When you enter C64 mode, the keyboard is in the upper-case/
graphic character set, so that everything you type is in capital let
ters. In C64 mode you can only use one character set at a time. To
switch back and forth between character sets, press the SHIFT key
and the 0* key (the COMMODORE key) at the same time.
As in C128 mode, you can use the typewriter-style keys in C64 mode
to type both upper-case letters (capitals) and lower-case letters
(small letters). You can also type the numerals shown on the top row
of the main keyboard. In addition, you can type the graphics symbols
on the fronts of the keys.
Most COMMAND keys (i.e., the keys that send messages to the com
puter, like RETURN, SHIFT, CTRL, etc.) work the same in C64 mode
as they do in C128 mode.
The only difference is that in C64 mode, you can only move the cur
sor by using the two CRSR keys at the bottom-right corner of the
main keyboard. (In C128 mode, you can also use the four arrow keys
located just above the top right side of the main keyboard.)
In C64 mode, you use two CRSR keys on the main keyboard and the
SHIFT key to move the cursor, as described in Section 3.
