The EDIT Command
The second method uses BASIC's EDIT Command.
Remember
that line 20 in the program still needs a
semicolon, so let's make the change like this:
1 After the BASIC prompt, Ok, type:
edit 20
and press the Enter key.
2 Line 20 will be shown to you like this:
20 PRINT 2
fl-- ___ The cursor is here.
3 Using the cursor right key
[g (on the numeric keypad),
move the cursor
to the position after the second 2.
Now type the semicolon
and press
the Enter key.
This
method is useful when most of the statement is
correct.
Editing and the use
of the cursor control keys are
explained in
"Chapter 2. The BASIC Program Editor"
in the BASIC manual.
