IBM 5100 - 5100 Storage Capacity

If you detect an error in a line after you press EXECUTE to enter the line, you can
use
the scroll up or scroll down key to position the line to be corrected, then use the
procedures above to correct the error.
If you want to change an entire line, you can simply enter the statement number
of the line, then reenter the line and press EXECUTE. The new line will replace
the old line.
If you want to delete one or more program lines, enter the statement number of
the line you want to delete, then enter DEL and press EXECUTE. To delete several
successive lines,
enter the number of the first line, enter DEL, enter the number of
the last line, then press EXECUTE. For example, to delete lines 20 through 90 in
a program, enter:
20 DEL 90
then press EXECUTE. Note that DEL is invalid while entering a key group (see
Function Keys in Chapter 2).
5100 STORAGE CAPACITY
The base 5100 (Model B1) has a storage capacity of 16K (K=1,024 bytes).
Figure 5 shows how this storage
is allocated to various requirements. Note that
the work area available to the user is approximately 12,000 bytes, while 4,000
bytes are required for internal purposes. The storage capacity is increased in the
following models of the 5100:
Model B2 -
32K
Model B3 - 48K
Model B4 - 64K
In these models, all additional storage is allocated to the user work area. For
example, on the Model B4, the user work area is approximately 60,000 bytes.
