For instance, suppose you have a
burning desire to see the words
HOT FUDGE SUNDAE on the screen.
^
&
All you have to do is type PRINT,
then put the statement you want
the Apple II to print in
quotation marks ("). Like this...
^
&
Whatever you type inside the
quotation marks is called a
literal quote since the computer
quotes exactly what you type.
^
&
Now it's your turn.  Use the
PRINT statement and quotation
marks (") to print a literal
quote on the screen.

No doubt you're already feeling
like a computer pro.

&
That's because this training
program tells you what you've done
wrong if you don't type everything
exactly by BASIC's rules.
^
&
When you are writing programs
on your own, the computer will
alert you to errors with messages,
but the messages won't be quite as
explicit.
^
&
For example, if you misspell
PRINT, you'll hear a beep,
and the computer will show you
an error message.
