In case you were not convinced earlier that hit-
ting the SPACEBAR really does put a blank char-
acter on the screen, here
is
your proof. An
in-
verse blank shows up as a completely
filled
in
white box which looks
like
the cursor. Type a
series of spaces and you'll get a white
line.
SCREEN 3
After the novelty of the Inverse Mode has worn
off,
you can return to a normal screen
display.
To do this,
press the INVERSE key again. That second press of
the INVERSE key turns the Inverse Mode
off.
IF YOU ARE USING BASIC. use the SPACEBAR
to
move the cursor to the.start of the next line. IF YOU
ARE IN MEMO PAD MODE, you can simply press
the RETURN key
to
start a new line.
Type your name, so you can see for yourself.
SCREEN 4
Every time you press the INVERSE key, you'll
turn the Inverse Mode either on or
off. Using
the
Inverse Mode can help you create interesting
graphics displays on the screen. You'll learn how
to
display graphics characters later in these exer-
cises.
