           INTRODUCTION

So you're interested in learning
to program?  Well, you've come to
the right place.

Just as there are lots of human 
languages--like English, French, 
and German--there are lots of
computer languages.  One of these
languages is BASIC.
^
&
BASIC has several dialects--you'll
be using Applesoft BASIC.
^

Fortunately, most of the "words"
in this language are very easy to
understand. We're going to teach 
you some of the BASIC words you 
need to start programming.

One thing you need to know is that
the DELETE key doesn't remove
characters in Applesoft BASIC.
If you make a mistake here or at

up with the LEFT ARROW key and 
retype.

Now, before we go any further, 
let's get acquainted.  Please type
in your first name and press the 
RETURN key.
