COLORS IN THE QUOTE MODE
TR L
As mentioned earlier in this chapter, certain
keys will leave a symbol not otherwise dis
played when typed after one (or an odd num
ber of) quotation mark(s). Type the following
program now to see some of these symbols
display in the Quote Mode. Then, when you
run the program, you will see the effect that
these keys have. NOTE: Type the lines exactly
as they are printed here, except do not type in
the brackets or the instructions inside the
brackets; when you get to the brackets, simply
press the C "RL key with the number key indi
cated. Then finish typing the line. Be sure to
press the RETURN key after you finish typing
each numbered command line.
10 ?"[use C II and 1JTHIS IS BLACK"
20 ?"[use C IL and 3JTHIS IS RED"
30 ?"[use C JL and 5JTHIS IS PURPLE"
40 ?"[use C H. and 6JTH1S IS GREEN"
If you have a 64 computer, add the following
lines. Again, do not type the brackets or the
instructions inside the brackets; simply press
the C = key with the number key indicated.
Press RETURN after each numbered line.
50 ?"[use C - and 2]THIS IS BROWN"
60 ?"[use C - and 4JTHIS IS GREY 1"
70 T'[use C = and 5JTHIS IS GREY 2"
As you can see, although the symbols appear
in the command lines, the text has not changed.
SCREENS 1 and 2
However, as soon as you run the program,
you will be in for a surprise. Run the program
now by typing the word RUN and pressing
the RETURN key. Each line has changed to the
color whose combination you typed!
SCREENS 3 and 4
To return to the computer's original color now
and to wipe this program out of your com
puter's memory, turn your computer OFF and
then back ON again. When the sign-on mes
sage appears, clear the screen by using SHIFT
plus the CLR/HOME key.
