NMI SCREEN$ SAVE is accomplished with the NMI switch plus keys Q, W, E, R, and T to give these saves the names A, B, C, D, and E, respectively.

NMI BREAK (KEY) uses the NMI switch and then “C” to return to BASIC after a NMI save.

RESTORE/ commands (3) RESTORE/S, resets to power-on defaults; “name” type TO “newname” changes a file name; “new disk name” changes the disk name.

COPY/ command copies the current display file to a large printer. Also copies to a 2040 printer.

ERASE/”name”type, removes a file from the disk. All later files are moved up in position. An old name can be reused.

VERIFY/”name” type, checks to see that the file is saved properly. Used to make a duplicate verification as all files are so verified automatically.

FOR/n TO m or FOR/m is a special FOR-NEXT loop that is very fast. Can be used only once in a program.

NEXT is the looping statement. Does not use an argument.
