Introduction
If
you've used your TRS-80 Model 100 just once, you know how simple, versatile,
and powerful a computer it is. Its built-in application programs allow you
to
perform
normally complex computer operations with ease. This includes data manipulation,
computer-to-computer communications, word processing, and more.
However,
as
you become more familiar with your Model 100, you can make the
computer even more useful by customizing it to suit your own special needs. This
is
done through BASIC, the built-in programming language.
For instance, from BASIC, you can:
• Re-define the Function Keys
(fj)
through
(lID.
• Communicate with information services and other computers.
• Write programs for a wide range
of
applications such
as
forecasting sales trends and
performing interest or mortgage calculations.
• Make use
of
the computer's graphic and sound capabilities.
and a host
of
other operations!
This course will show you how
to
perform operations such
as
these by explaining in
detail the BASIC section
of
your Model 100 Owner's Manual. This means that by the
time you've finished this course. you'll be writing your own programs and using the
built-in application programs more effectively.
Since most
of
the application programs not built-in will be written
in
BASIC, and
since BASIC interacts with the other built-in programs, you'll find it
is
definitely to
your advantage
to
become familiar with BASIC.
So sit back and get ready to enjoy your Model
100 even more. You're about to find
out how powerful a computer it really
is!
