Document Conventions

 This manual uses the following typographic conventions.

 Part 1 is a reference for each function, statement, and metacommand in the
 BASIC language. Each entry is listed alphabetically and describes the action
 performed, and the syntax to use. Arguments, options, and typical usage are
 explained further under "Remarks." The "See Also" sections refer you to
 related entries. In addition, example programs are included with the
 descriptions so you can see exactly how a function or statement works.
 In the beginning of Part 1 are summary tables for selected BASIC functions
 and statements. Each table contains entries that perform related tasks.
 Within each table, you can quickly see specific tasks you can accomplish,
 the functions or statements to use, and the actions that result.
