Atari 400 User Manual page 108

The ability to insert material is one of the mar-
vels of the computer, so let's see how it works
on your Atari. First clear the screen by pressing a
SHIFT key with the CLEAR key. Then type
I LIKE CAKE.
Your sentence appears on the screen.
SCREEN 1
Now use the CONTROL key with the LEFT
ARROW key to place the cursor on top of the C
in CAKE.
SCREEN 2
Press the CONTROL key and the > /INSERT key.
What happens?
All
the characters to the right of
the cursor on the line shifted one place to the
right creating
.a
space for a new character. Press
this key combination nine more times.
SCREEN 3
Now type
CHOCOLATE
and you have a new sentence.
SCREEN 4
This editing feature comes in very handy when
you forget a word or want to change the order
of words. But perhaps you need to add more
than a word-perhaps you need to add a whole
line. To do that you have to use the SHIFT key
with the > /INSERT key.
