Now try another trial run. Your picture should look like this:

Vou should have been able ta watch the PET slowly sketch the square on
the screen in a clockwise direction. Remember. vou may change the print speed
by changing the
Ta index value for variable J in the time delay loop.
One last problem: How to avoid destroying the square
with the READY
message.
When drawing the square is completed. the cursor is on line 2; when the
programs ends. the READY message
is printed on the next line. which happens to
be within the square. Therefore. before ending the program. vou must compen-
sate for this by moving the cursor below the square; the READY message
will be
written underneath the square and not across it. This is done by printing several
CURSOR DOWNs before the END statement.
50 PRItH"~":END
This will move the cursor down below the square and the square will not be
destroyed:
