(415) 326-4248 LOADING APPLE BASIC
Apple BASIC is provided on a cassette tape which can be read into
the "E" block of memory in about 30 seconds. To load BASIC from
the tape do the following:
Hit the "CLEAR SCREEN" button which will clear the screen
and display only the cursor (a flashing @ sign) in the
upper left corner of the screen.
Hit the "RESET" button which will cause the computer to print
a backslash (\) and move the cursor down a line.
Place the BASIC cassette into the recorder, rewinding it if
necessary.
NOTE*** The symbol + means hit the "RETURN" key on the keyboard.
‘The symbol + will not, of course, be printed on the
screen.
1. Type c1paR +
2. Type EOQJ.EFFFR (don't hit + yet!)
3. Start the tape
4. Hit +
5. When BASIC is loaded (about 30 seconds) the computer will
print a backslash (\).
To enter BASIC type E®@PR+. The computer will print a few charac-
ters, then, on the next line, print the prompt character >. This
prompt character (>) is used throughout BASIC to signify that the
BASIC is ready for additional commands or statements.
To exit BASIC hit the "RESET" button. This will return control
to the monitor. To re-enter BASIC from the monitor without losing
the previous program, enter BASIC at B2B3+, instead of Epgpt.
This is extremely useful when you have unintentionally hit the
"RESET" button while in BASIC. Normally, you should enter BASIC
at E99B+, which clears any previous programs.
