Colour Genie Basic Manual
=========================

Information
-----------
You should have already read the Beginner's Manual that describes the way that the Colour Genie
works and how it should be connected up to the TV and tape recorder. If you have not already
read this booklet, or think that you know it all, then quickly read it now. There are things in
there that are very important to know!

This book goes through most of the BASIC commands available on the Colour Genie and gives
examples of the syntax and sample programs. The commands themselves are given in alphabetical
order, grouped in a logical order, by their operating mode. Consequently, some jumping around
within the text will be necessary and no attention has been taken of the order in that the commands come.

A third book is being written to complement these two. This will contain all the system information and
a lot of the detail that will let serious programmers and hardware engineers have al the information that
they need.

This book is *not* a BASIC programming manual. It is a reference book, and should be treated as such.
There are many fine books on the market that can teach you how to program in BASIC and, if you are
not familiar with the language, then one of these should be read along with this manual.
