is
in the correct
position
to
insert the semicolon. Type a semicolon. Line 40 should now appear
as:

PRINT
"YOUR
AGE
15";
G
This is the desired form
of
line 40. You must remember that when

must be moved one position to the right before the deletion
is
done.
Exit from the Editor by pressing the Escape key twice, or just hit
(fS).
Execute the program several times to conftrm that it
