GR had the regular text at the bottom for a few lines. lol Actually the very first programming I did was in the 7th grade in the brand new computer lab the school got and we did a graphics language called LOGO. With LOGO we did PU PD (pen up, pen down) and the turtle walked in steps drawing your lines.
Yep, I remember HOME, although in those days I wasn't enough in the graphics to remember the commands. I also remember PR#6, to load DOS from a boot disk, I typed that one almost every time I sat down at the machine. Applesoft is the only language I can lay any claim to other than QBasic/QB64. In college I tried to get my head around Assembly, even taking a class in it, but never got anything to work right. My Apple ][+ was heisted in college. My father-in-law later gave me an Apple ][ with an Integer Basic card. I gave that to a friend of mine some years later. I still have a ][C in the attic that was my sister's. It still worked the last time I had it out.
