The boxes which can be drawn on the screen are also used as a frame of reference for a series
of text mode functions:
The key combination Ctrl+Z (^Z) horizontally centres a line of text within a box.
The key combinations Alt+E, Alt+X, Alt+S and Alt+D can be used to move the content of a
box up, down, left or right (scrolli
) .
Try experimenting with the functions described above until you produce a block of text w

Then you should think of a name for this block of text so that it can subsequently be store
on diskette because the program can only access blocks of text which have been stored on diske

Function keys F3 (SAVE) and F4 (LOAD) are provided for storing and loading blocks of t
t. These functions also allow you to prepare whole series of blocks of text quickly by storing a b
ock of text, amending the block of text which still remains displayed on the screen, storing this ame
ded block of text under a new name and repeating the procedure as many times as required.
In order to display the newly prepared block of text, which we will assume you have called

If you start this program using the CURRENT PROGRAM function in the EXECUTE menu
you will see your block of text at the appropriate point. As you have probably already noticed, a b
ock of text remains visible until it is replaced by another block of text or until an ERASE instruc
ion clears the scr
