The SPACEBAR is the long key
at the bottom of the keyboard. It
is used to put blank spaces in a
line you are typing; to this extent,
it is equivalent to the typewriter
SPACEBAR.
Remember, however, that, if you
use the SPACEBAR
to
move the
cursor on the screen, characters
will be erased as the cursor moves
over them.
To the computer,
a
space created
by the SPACEBAR is not empty
-
it contains the space character.
When you press the A key, an A
character takes up one space on
the monitor screen; when you
press the SPACEBAR, a space
character takes up one space on
the monitor screen.
