Numeric Keys
The numeric keys are used to enter the digits 0 through 9.
Special Symbol Keys
The special symbol keys include the following standard punctuation
marks:
! ' " . , ; : ? They also include the following mathematical symbols:
+ - / * t = (note that a slash is used for division, an asterisk for
multiplication,
and an up arrow for exponentiation). Other special symbols
available
on the VIC 20 include # $ & @ % £ 1T < > []-.
Graphic Keys
The VIC 20 also has 62 graphic symbols that may be accessed through
the
SHIFT or COMMODORE function keys. Using these graphic symbols, you
can create fairly sophisticated display drawings.
The graphic symbols
and their names are listed in Table 1-1. Similar
symbols have been grouped
to make graphic options immediately obvious.
Note
that the square enclosing each of the graphic symbols shown in Table
1-1 and Figure 1-3 is not actually part of the symbol, but has been added to
show the symbol's location within its 8 X 8 grid.
