3/Using the Pocket Computer
You
can
start using
your
PC-2
as
soon
as
it's
been
turned on.
Since many symbols on
the
PC-2
keyboard
are
not
common
to
other computers, this section
will
explain
how
to
use
the Computer keyboard.
The
PC-2
can
also
be
used
as
a powerful calculator when in the
"immediate"
(RUN)
Mode. When using
it
this way,
the
PC-2
has
all
the
features
of
a
memory
calculator plus much more! This section
will
describe
how
to
use
the
PC-2
as
a calculator.
We'll also discuss features
of
PC-2
BASIC Language which
are
not
common
to
other
forms
of
BASIC.
If
you're
an
experienced programmer,
you'll
be
writing
your
own programs (including graphics) on the Computer
by
the
time
you
finish this section.
If
this
is
your
introduction
to
computers,
you'll
be
familiar
enough
with
the
PC-2
after
reading this section
to
go
on
to
a
PC-2
programming guide and
write
your
own
programs.
