MODE-Shifting the Display on the Screen
You may find that the first two or three characters on a
line
of the display do not show up on the screen. If your
display device does not have a horizontal adjustment
control,
you can use the DOS MODE command to shift ~
the displayed lines to the right.
Before You Begin
You need only your DOS Diskette to do this.
Shift Right
1 Make sure that DOS is ready and A> is displayed

Check your typing-did you put the space and then the
comma before the
"r"?
When it's okay, press the Enter key.
3 Now a test pattern will appear on your screen.
