CONTROL
KEYS
Along the top
of
the keyboard, just under the number keys (1-8), are
located the eight color control keys: black, white, red, cyan (light blue),
purple, green, blue, and yellow. These keys change the color
of
the
characters being typed on the display. To use these keys you must press
CTRL and the color you wish to use.
For
example, when you first power up
the VIC 20, your screen comes up with a cyan border, white field, and blue
letters.
By
pressing CTRL and PUR together, you will begin typing purple
letters.
