ALWAYS use these toolbar buttons to add these two lines as the beginning of every
program! Compiler directives use braces { }. If you try to type in these parts of your
program, you may accidentally use parentheses ( ) or square brackets [ ]. If you do
this, your program will not work.
√ Type the rest of the program into the BASIC Stamp Editor exactly as shown in
Figure 1-37. Notice that the first two lines are above the compiler directives, and
the rest of the program is below the compiler directives.
