To repeat text: Press a key and
hold it down for a while. TEXT
repeats the key, over and over.
You may be repeating characters
faster than TEXT can process
them. You then discover that
TEXT "remembers" what you
type. You see TEXT "catch up"
with you even after you finish.
Entering and Exiting
a Text File
To exit the text file and return to
the Main Menu, press (FBI. The
Main Menu shows the name of
the file you created—
SEMINR.DO. The .DO exten-
sion tells you that SEMINR.DO
is a text file—not a program.
Also note that you now have
fewer bytes free. This is because
of the memory consumed by
SEMINR.DO. Move to
SEMINR.DO's position on the
Main Menu, and you see its
precise length at the bottom.
Now re-enter SEMINR.DO.
(Move to SEMINR.DO and press
(ENTER).) You see the informa-
tion still there—just as you left
it.
Try turning the Tandy 200's
power off and then on again.
The information that you store
in the Tandy 200 remains safe—
even when the power's off—and
will remain safe as long as you
follow the precautions listed in
Chapter 1.
Printing a Text File
In Chapter 1, you learned how
to print a display by pressing
(PRINT). To print an entire text
file, such as SEMINR.DO, you
need to enter the text file and
press (SHIFT) (PRINT).
Enter SEMINR.DO. Press
(SHIFT) and (PRINT) at the
same time. TEXT shows how it
will format what it prints:
Width: 80
Left-Margin: 0
Page size: 66
