Abbreviations For Basic Keywords - Commodore VIC-20 User Manual

APPENDIX D:
ABBREVIATIONS FOR BASIC KEYWORDS
As a time saver when typing in programs and commands, VIC BASIC
allows the user to abbreviate most keywords. The abbreviation for the
word PRINT ts a question mark. The abbreviations for the other words
are made by typing the first one or two letters of the key word,
followed by the SHIFTed next letter of the word, if the abbreviations
are used in a program line, the keyword will LIST in the longer form.
Note that some of the keywords when abbreviated include the first
parenthesis, and others do not.
