Don't worry if most of these commands are unfamiliar to you. You need to know only a handful
of them to get a feel for programming in Applesoft BASIC. If you want to learn more, get the
Applesoft Tutorial and the Applesoft BASIC Programmer's Reference Manual.
Getting Ready to Save Programs on a Disk
So far, you haven't lost a lot by erasing the programs you've written by typing NEW. But as
you become more proficient, your programs will get much longer than the samples in this book.
Before you go any farther, you'd better learn how to save your programs on a disk so you won't
have to retype them every time you turn on the computer.
Formatting
As you learned in the last chapter, before you can save anything on a blank disk, you have to
format it. Applesoft BASIC uses ProDOS, so stop what you're doing and format some disks using
the formatting program on the ProDOS User's Disk. (The same disk you used to get into
Applesoft BASIC -it's probably still in your disk drive.)
Start up the ProDOS User's Disk.
Or Restart:
Use the OPEN-APPLE-CONTROL-RESET method if your Apple
IIe is already turned on.
Press F (for PRODOS FILER) from the Main Menu.
