LOOKING AT THE
KEYBOARD
The Cursor Keys
• The cursor, the flashing block that marks where you
are on the computer screen, can be moved quickly
and easily around the screen by using the CURSOR
KEYS.
• There are four separate cursor keys, each with an
arrow pointing in the direction the key moves the
cursor: up, down, left or right.
• You can use the cursor keys to move the cursor
over anything on the screen without affecting those
characters.
Like all keys on the Commodore 16 keyboard,
each cursor key can automatically repeat. This
means that if you hold down the key contin
uously, the cursor keeps moving in the direction
of the key you press until you release it. Keys
that print on the screen will fill each space
with their characters while you hold them down
like this.
