Commodore 16 - Page 8

Read Section 3, Using Software. This section tells
you how to use software that is packaged in any of
the three basic packaging forms — cartridge,
cassette tape, and disk — as well as the units
needed to use cassettes and disks. When you have
completed this section, you will be ready to use the —
Commodore software packages available at your
local dealer. You'll be able to use software even
without reading the rest of the Guide.
If you are interested in programming the
Commodore 16 yourself, you will want to read Sec
tion 4, Learning the BASICs. This section describes
the Commodore 16's computational capabilities
and introduces the advanced BASIC programming
language that is built into your computer. The
sophisticated sound, music, color, and graphics
capabilities of the Commodore 16 are also intro
duced in this section. For detailed descriptions
of all these topics, see the Commodore 16
Intermediate User's Manual.
Consult the appendices for additional helpful infor
mation, including information on equipment that
can expand the Commodore 16's capabilities even
more, and a list of books you may find helpful.
You'll soon see that you can begin to use your
Commodore 16 as soon as you have set up and
connected all the equipment. How far and how fast
you go from here is up to you. You are in control.
