Radio Shack PC-2 TRS-80 Owner's Manual page 5

To Our Customers ...
Besides being one of the smallest computers that Radio Shack provides, the TRS-80 PC-2
IS
one of the most
powerful and versatile computers of its size available anywhere.
Its powerful capabilities, as well as its "expandability", make it the ideal personal computer for business, scientific,
engineering, or personal use.
In spite of its size and power, however, the Pocket Computer can be quite simple to use. In fact, you can
determine just how technical a machine you want it to be.
At its simplest level of operation, you can use Radio Shack cassette programs, RAM Modules, or ROM Modules.
All you will need to know is how to load and run a cassette program or insert a program cartridge into the
Computer.
At a slightly more involved level of operation, you may want to write your own programs. If you are a beginner,
read this operation manual, then read a PC-2 programming guide.
If, however, you are already an experienced programmer and are familiar with BASIC, read this operation manual.
For your convenience, we ve included a Language Reference Summary in the appendix which lists PC-2 commands,
their syntax, and examples of use.
