its memory.
RUN Mode
Once programs have been entered into the Computer's memory, you can run (execute) them in the RUN Mode.
To enter the RUN Mode, press
(MODE)
until RUN appears on the Display. Then type: RUN
(ENTER).
The Com-
puter will go to the first program line number in memory and execute it.
There are, however, a few ways to begin a program without typing RUN.
For instance, you might want to assign the RUN command to a Function Key. Try
CID ,
Reserve Mode I as an
example. (See
CID ~
ern
Function Keys for details.)
When F1: is displayed, type RUN
(ENTER) .
Then go to RUN Mode and press
CID .
The Computer will display
RUN _. Press
(ENTER)
and program execution will begin with the first program line in memory.
Hint: Assign RUN
@
to
CID .
When you press
CID
in RUN Mode the program will automatically run without
your having to press
(ENTER) .
When it follows RUN or any other command, the
@
sign serves the same purpose
as pressing
(ENTER) .
Another way to RUN a program is to assign Definable Key labels to certain line numbers within a program. (See
Definable Keys for more details.) Then, when you want to RUN a specific program, simply press (ffi) followed
by the key label. You will not have to type RUN
(ENTER) .
The PC-2 can also be used as a calculator (make that a super calculator!) when it is in the RUN Mode.
