and

CLR/HOME
HOME
moves the cursor back to the upper left corner of the screen. This is called the
‘HOME’ position.
CLR
stands for CLeaR. When you use the
SHIFT
key with the
CLR/HOME
key, the
screen clears and the cursor returns to the ‘HOME’ position.
RESTORE
The
RESTORE
key returns the computer to its normal state by restoring the default
conditions (e.g., the default C64 screen color is blue, etc.)
RESTORE
does such
things as clear the screen, returning it to the original color, and turn off the picture-
and sound-making chips.
NOTE: For
RESTORE
to work in BASIC as described, hold down the
SHIFT
and
RUN/STOP
keys on THEC64 keyboard while you press the
RESTORE
key. This
action is only possible using THEC64 keyboard, not the Virtual keyboard explained in
CHAPTER 7.
For example, suppose you’ve just played a music program that also turned your
screen red and yellow while it LISTed the program. When you press
SHIFT
,
RUN/STOP
and
RESTORE
at the end of the program, the last note from the
program will cease, your screen will return to its normal colors and the only thing
displayed will be the READY prompt.
