The main display with a monitor
(80
characters)
Initially the Quill display should look like that shown
in
Figure 21 or Figure 2.2. This
is
known
as
the mam display
Quill can show
80,
64
or
40
characters per line of the screen.
If
you
are
uSing
a domestic
television the display may not be clear enough
for
you
to
see
80
characters per
line.
If
this
is
the case
you
will
need
to
use
64
or
40
characters. The
64
character screen
is
very similar
to
that
for
80
characters. The
40
character screen
IS
arranged differently
and the main display
will
look like Figure 2.2.
