THIS IS MY COMPUTER.
Right now, the cursor is near the end of the line.
SCREEN 1
Look at the S key and the D key On the front of
these keys you see arrows that point to the
left and to the right. These keys, used with
the FUNCTION key, move the cursor back
and forth. Let's try it!
Hold the FUNCTION key and press the S key
nine times. The cursor is now on top of the let
ter C in COMPUTER (if you had a period at
the end of your sentence).
SCREEN 2
Hold the FUNCTION key and press the D key
six times. Your cursor is now positioned on top
of the letter E.
SCREEN 3
Byusing the Skey as a left arrow key and using
the D key as a right arrow key, you can move
the cursor to any spot within a line of typing.
You can think of using the left and right arrow
keys to move the cursor as being similar to lifting
a pencil from one place on a sheet of paper and
placing it at another spot on that same sheet of
paper.
Before starting the next exercise, press ENTER,
type the words CALL CLEAR, and press ENTER
again to clear the screen.
