TIP: The COMMODORE 64 was designed to be used by everyone.
But we at Commodore recognize that computer users may, occasionally, run into
difficulties. To help answer your questions and give you some fun programming
ideas, Commodore has created several publications to help you. You might also find
that it's a good idea to join a Commodore Users Club to help you meet some other
COMMODORE 64 owners who can help you gain knowledge and experience.
CURSOR
The flashing square under READY is called the cursor and indicates
where what you type on the keyboard will be displayed on the screen.
As you type, the cursor will move ahead one space, as the original
cursor position is replaced with the character you typed. Try typing on
the keyboard and watch as characters you type are displayed on the TV
screen.
