Summary
These sections on BASIC have told you about:
• Starting BASIC on your
IBM
Personal Computer
• Returning to DOS
• Loading and running the SAMPLES program that
is provided on the DOS Diskette
• Loading and running the COMM program on the
DOS Diskette
• Loading and running other BASIC programs
• Finding out what files are on a diskette with the
FILES command
• Entering, saving, running, listing, and editing a
program of your own.
As you become more familiar with running the BASIC
~
programs you acquire or if you want to start writing
your own programs in BASIC, use the IBM Personal
Computer BASIC book. In it you will find alternative
methods and much more detailed information than that
we've given you here.
We hope this chapter has helped to get you started using
your computer quickly. So start up the SAMPLES
program and go!
