*******************
* New Disk format *
*******************
NOTE: Issue 26 marked the beginning
of a new format for the C64 version
of Commodore Free:
Use a Mouse in Port #1, a Joystick in
Port #2, or Keyboard Cursor keys to
navigate the new format.
On the Main Menu screen, you will
find a list of Topics on the left, 3
Icons on the right and a Title bar on
the bottom.
As you move the 'Arrow' cursor over
the Topics/Subtopics or Icons, the
Title bar provides a short
description of what you can expect
when you select that item.
The top left Icon is a question mark.
If selected, you can read about
Commodore Free.
The top right Icon is a music staff
If selected, you can play or change
background music.
The bottom Icon is a curled arrow.
Select this to quit Commodore Free &
return to BASIC.
When you select a Topic, you will
either get the article or a list of
Subtopics to pick from. The article
screen displays an article title at
the top, a scrollbar (with single &
double arrows) on the right and the
words EXIT & PRINT on the bottom. If
you click on a single arrow, the text
will scroll one line at a time in the
direction of the arrow. Use the
double arrow to scroll a page at a
time. On the keyboard, the UP/DOWN
cursor key scrolls a single line &
the RIGHT/LEFT cursor key scrolls a
page at a time.
Select EXIT to return to the Main
Menu or PRINT to get a Hardcopy of
the article in 80 columns. The
keyboard 'E' or 'P' keys also provide
these functions. On the main screen
pressing M will toggle the music on
or off, but has no effect in the
reader application.
