WRAPAROUND
At this point you should have nearly a whole
line of characters, with the cursor near the end.
What would happen if you typed so many char-
acters that they would go past the right edge of
the screen?
When you try to put more characters on a line
than the line can hold, they appear on the next
line. This feature is called wraparound. The cur-
sor moves one position to the right every time a
character appears on the screen, but it moves to
the next line when it runs out of room on the
first line.
Let's try it. Press the Z key several times until the
cursor is at the far right of the screen.

Now press the Z key again. Where does the cur-
sor go? It goes all the way back to the left side,
only one line lower.
