Summary
These sections on BASIC have told
you
about:
• Starting BASIC
on
your
IBM
Personal

• Returning
to
DOS
• Loading and running the SAMPLES program
that
is
provided on the DOS Diskette

other
BASIC programs
• Finding
out
what
files are on a diskette with
the
FILES command
• Entering, saving, running, listing, and editing a

As
you
become more familiar with running the BASIC
~
programs you acquire or
if
you
want to start writing
your own programs in BASIC, use the
IBM Personal
Computer
BASIC
book. In it
you
will find alternative
methods and
much
more detailed information than
that
we've given
you
here.
We
hope this chapter has helped to get
you
started using
your
computer
quickly. So start up the SAMPLES
program and go!
