what you need to get started

Here's what you need to start computing


with your Commodore 64C:

• The computer keyboard, which


lets you type information and send it
to the computer

• A television set or a video


monitor, which lets you see what the
computer is doing

You can connect accessory equipment


(sometimes called peripheral equipment
or simply peripherals) to your 64C. For
example, with a disk drive or cassette
recorder, you can save your work. With a
printer, you can make a copy of your
work.

If you haven't already con


nected your equipment,
follow the directions given
in the QUICK-CONNECT
GUIDE, which is packed in
the computer box.

Shortly after you turn on your computer, you should see a display like the one
shown below on your television set or monitor:

—the cursor

Notice the small flashing rectangle at the upper left part of the screen, just below
the word READY. This rectangle is called the cursor. The cursor marks your posi
tion on the screen. When you type in something or when the computer responds to
something you have typed in, the cursor moves accordingly.

—adjusting the screen display

If the screen display is not clear, adjust


the controls on your television set or
monitor. If you don't get a picture at
all, use the troubleshooting chart in the
QUICK-CONNECT GUIDE to check
your connections.
screen messages

If you press the RETURN without having entered something that the computer can
understand, you may see a message on the screen from the computer (e.g., SYN
TAX ERROR). These messages arc the computer's way of telling you that it can't
act on the information you have entered. In some cases the messages arc self-
explanatory, but in some cases you may need an explanation of the message.
Appendix A of the Commodore 64C System Guide lists and explains the error
messages for the 64C.
moving around the screen

You can move around the screen by moving the cursor. To do this, you use the two
keys marked with arrows, located at the right end of the bottom row of the main
keyboard.

trying out your new commodore 64C

Here's a simple program to show you that you can get your 64C to do things with
out knowing all about programming or BASIC or machine language.

First, hold down the SHIFT key and press the CLR HOME key. This "clears" (that
is, erases) the screen. Then type the following lines exactly as they appear. Press the
RETURN key after each line.

The numbers at the beginning of each line tell the computer that you are entering a
program. Pressing the RETURN key after you type each line tells the computer to
"save" that line (that is, to keep the line in the computer's memory).

After you have finished typing line 30 and have pressed RETURN for that line, use
the SHIFT and CLR HOME keys to clear the screen again. Then type RUN and
press RETURN, and follow the computer's instructions. If you get any kind of error
message on the screen, you have probably made a typing mistake. Just clear the
screen (use SHIFT/CLR HOME) and start again.

There are many prepackaged software programs that you can use with not much
more experience than it takes to use this little sample program. Once you "load"
such a program ("loading" means putting the program in the computer's memory),
the program instructs or 'prompts" you about what to do. The section in this
booklet called using software tells you how to "load" and "run" prepackaged
software programs.

If you are interested in learning how to create and run your own programs using
the 64C and the BASIC programming language, see the COMMODORE 64C SYS
TEM GUIDE—Learning to Program in Basic 2.0—the other book that comes packed
with the 64C computer.

11
about ram and rom

You have probably read or heard the terms RAM (Random Access Memory) and
ROM (Read Only Memory) used in connection with computers. These terms refer
to the two types of memory used by a computer in processing information.

RAM is memory that you can use AND change. For example, you can use RAM
to enter a program, and you can change that program while it is in RAM. The
64C can hold about 64,000 characters (bytes) of information in its RAM. This
memory can be directly used by you, and it can be changed by you.

ROM is memory that can only be used by the computer itself to perform and con
trol its internal activities. ROM cannot be changed by you, although there are
methods that you an use to see what values are in ROM. Your 64C also has 20K of
standard ROM (Read Only Memory).

The computer keeps track of how much RAM you have used and how much you
have left. The computer also keeps track of the contents and status of ROM. So,
unless you are interested in creating your own programs, you generally need not be
concerned about RAM and ROM.

what the keyboard is used for

The 64C keyboard is basically a standard typewriter keyboard with some extra keys.
You use the keyboard to tell the computer what you want it to do. You also use the keys
to reply to any messages or questions the computer displays on the screen. (These mes
sages and questions are sometimes called "screen prompts" or simply "prompts".)

Most of the letter, number and symbol keys on the Commodore 64C's keyboard look
and work like the corresponding key on a standard typewriter. In addition, many or
these keys can produce special graphic symbols, which arc indicated on the front of the
keys. There are also a number of special keys that let the Commodore 64C computer do
much more than a typewriter can do. The keyboard illustration shown locates these
special keys and tells how you use them.

For a detailed description of key functions see the COMMODORE 64C SYSTEM
GUIDE.

Feel free to experiment at the keyboard. There is little chance that anything you do
at the keyboard can cause harm, and you will benefit from the "hands on"
experience.

16
keyboard modes

The 64C keyboard has two typing


modes:

—Upper case/graphic mode


—Upper/lower case mode

upper case/graphic When you turn on the computer, the


mode keyboard is in the upper case/graphic
mode, which means that everything you
type is in capital letters.

To switch back and forth between


modes, you must press the SHIFT key
and the C= key (the COMMODORE key)
at the same time. If you switch to the
upper/lower case mode, the keyboard
works much like a standard typewriter
keyboard. What you type normally
appears in lower case; if you want upper
case (that is, capital letters) you can hold
down the SFIIFT key or depress the

upper/lower case

typist to use the computer effectively.
You only need to know the general
keyboard layout, including the location
and function of the special keys, as
shown on the keyboard diagram.

what software is

Software is a set of instructions (also called a program) that tells your computer
just what you want it to do. In other words, software is what lets you do things
with your computer.

There are two kinds of software:

1. Prepackaged Software—
This is software that is ready for you to use. Prepackaged software is sometimes
called "canned" software. You don't need to know all about "computing" or "pro
gramming" to use prepackaged software programs.

There are many thousands of prepackaged or "canned" software programs available


to you. Much of this software comes from commercial software companies, but there
are also many ready-to-use software programs available in computer magazines or
from computer user groups.

2. User-Created Software—

This is software that you yourself make up. To do this you must use a special lan
guage, known as a programming language. The Commodore 64C comes with a
built-in programming language known as BASIC 2.0; see the SYSTEM GUIDE for
instructions on programming in BASIC 2.0. There are also many other program
ming languages available for the Commodore 64C, including LOGO, PILOT, LISP,
PASCAL, etc.

22
software package formats

Software comes in three kinds of packages or formats:

disk—
Depending on the type of disk drive you are using, these can be either 5'A" or 3'/z"
disks enclosed in a protective envelope.

cartridge-
Software cartridges, about the size of a deck of cards, are used for many business
and educational programs, as well as for games.

cassette tape—

Software on tape uses a normal-sized audio tape cassette that contains either stan
dard audio tape or computer digital tape. The cassette is used with a special Com
modore tape recorder called a Datassette.

In addition to using prepackaged software programs on disks, cartridges or tapes,


you can make you own programs and put them on disks or tapes. You usually can
not put your own programs on a cartridge.

23
what's in a software package

The main part o( a software package


consists of the computer program,
which is contained on a disk, cartridge
or tape. The package usually also
includes printed instructions that tell
you such things as what the program
does, how to load and run it, how to
enter information, and what the pro
gram output looks like.

The amount of instructions supplied


with the software package usually
depends on how many things the pro
gram can do, and the kind of things it
can do. These instructions can be less
than a page long, or they can take up a
complete manual.

24
how to load and run software

To use a software package, you must do two things:

—FIRST, you must place the software program in your Commodore 64C's
memory. This is called loading the program. In some cases, you load the program
by using the LOAD command, as explained on pages 26, 27, and 28. In other
cases, the program is loaded automatically.

—SECOND, you must tell the computer to carry out the program's instruc
tions. This is called running the program. In some cases, you run the program by
using the RUN command. In other cases, the program not only loads but also
runs automatically.

The following pages tell you how to LOAD and RUN disk, cartridge and tape
software.
