If +you're familiar with regular computer or typewriter keyboard, you'll notice +that the X16 Keyboard's keys are different. Rather than just having letters, +numbers, and punctuation on them, you'll see that most keys also have one or +more "graphic characters" printed on them. While the regular characters can be +typed by simply pressing the keys, the graphics characters can be typed by +holding down either \shiftkey or \altkey and pressing one of the keys with +graphics characters. For example, try holding down the \shiftkey key and +pressing the \keybackgroundcolor{white}\key{s} key. Instead of an 'S', a heart +should appear on the screen. Now press and hold down the \altkey key and press +\key{s}. This time a right-angled graphic character should appear. Holding +the \shiftkey key causes the graphic character on the right to be typed, and +holding the \altkey key causes the graphic character on the left to be typed.\\ + +Graphic characters can be used to create larger shapes and images on the +screen. For example, the graphic characters that can be typed by holding +\altkey and typeing \key{a}, \key{s}, \key{z}, and \key{x} can be used to +create a square that is larger than a single character. If you include the +graphic characters that can be typed by holding \shiftkey and typing \key{c} +and \key{b}, you can draw a rectangle as large as the entire screen! If you +want your rectangle to have rounded corners, you can use the graphic characters +on the \key{u}, \key{i}, \key{j}, and \key{k}.\\ + +Spend some time experimenting with the other graphic characters to see what +kinds of shapes and designs you can draw. You can use the arrow keys to +position the cursor wherever you need to type.\\ + +% To start, sit down in front of the Commander X16 Keyboard and type the +% following:\\ +% +% Hold down the \shiftkey key and press the \clrhomekey key. Then type +% \keybackgroundcolor{white}\key{N}\key{E}\key{W} and press the \returnkey key.\\ +% +% This will clear any program currently programmed so that the X16 is ready to +% accept a new one. %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % CHAPTER - Colors
