B-1.2 Getting to know each other
You still don’t know much about the Editing system and the Editing System knows still less

There are many questions but the answers have already been filled in - these are the so-called

- a selectable tape recorder is connected to COM2,
- an auxiliary box is hooked up to the LPT2 interface, and that
- a printer connected to the LPT1 interface
- is waiting to print at 72 lines per page.

DEL to delete) and then press ENTER.
