CURSOR UP/DOWN KEY
But isn't there a faster way to move the
cursor up and down on the screen? Yes, Com
modore computers have a CURSOR UP/
DOWN key as well. On your VIC or 64, this
key is immediately to the left of the CURSOR
LEFT/RIGHT key.
Start by holding down the CURSOR LEFT/
RIGHT key to put the cursor somewhere in
the middle of the screen.
SCREEN 1
To move the cursor down one line, press the
CURSOR UP/DOWN key once. If you hold
down this key, the cursor rapidly moves down
line by line. Try this now.
