USING TEXT MODE
Whenever you enter the Text Mode, the letter
keys function like those of a regular type
writer: they will appear in the lowercase
unless you use them with the SHIFT or SHIFT
LOCK key. When used with the C ■ key, the
symbol remains the same, whether in Text
Mode or Graphics Mode.
Before trying the next exercise, it's time to
clear the screen. To do this, hold down the
SHIFT key and press the CLR/HOME key. The
screen will clear, and the cursor returns to its
home position at the top of the screen.
SCREEN 1
You should still be in Text Mode from the pre
vious exercise, ready to use both uppercase
and lowercase letters.
Type the following name now, making sure to
hold a SHIR key at the same time as the first
letter in each word:
Samuel Andrews
The first letter in each word appears in the
uppercase, while the other letters appear in
the lowercase.
SCREEN 2
Now, re-enter the Graphics Mode by again
pressing a SHIFT key and the C key at the
same time. The lowercase letters on the screen
become capital letters once more, and the
capital letters S and A have turned into
graphics symbols.
SCREEN 3
Before going on to the next exercise, clear
the screen by holding down a SHIFT key and
pressing the CLR/HOME key.
SCREEN 1
To begin, clear the screen by using the
SHIFT and CLR/HOME keys together.
SCREEN 2
In the Text Mode, use SHIFT plus a letter
key to display an uppercase letter.
SCREEN 3
Re-entering the Graphics Mode changes all
uppercase letters to graphics symbols.
