RESTORE KEY
The RE E key almost always brings your
blinking cursor back to the screen and leaves
your program in memory. Let's try this now.
First, hold down the RUN/STOP key and at
the same time press the E key.
When you press RUN/STOP and RESTORE
together, the program stops running and the
screen clears and gives you the READY mes
sage. (If you had been working in other
colors, the screen would return to the colors
you get when you first turn on the computer.)
To prove your program is still there, type RUN
and press RETURN. As soon as the program
starts running, press the RUN/STOP key. Then
type the following command:
LIST
Now press RETURN. Did it work? Is the lost
program now restored on the screen? Then
you have found it and can change it to work
better, if necessary.
SCREEN 1
If nothing appears, and you just get the
message:
READY.
then you may have lost the program. How
ever, when you learn a lot more about your
computer, you will eventually learn ways to
find your program again. In the meantime,
you've regained control of your computer
without turning it off-
