Mastering The Colour Genie
==========================

Introduction
------------
Release the power of the Colour Genie!

The Colour Genie takes you from your very first steps in
computing right up to serious program applications. It's a
micro that everyone can use and the Full Microsoft BASIC
Extended included enables you to write your own
programs quickly and easily. Its full size typewriter
keyboard and optional joysticks with numeric pads give
you powerful design tools for high resolution graphics.
The sound synthesis used is the same as that in electronic
music organs and gives you great sound and music
facilities.

This book has been specifically written for you, the
beginner, and assumes no previous knowledge of
computing. It covers the Basic (the programming language
used) of the Colour Genie, including the use of
the excellent colour graphics and superb sound 
instructions, as well as the very comprehensive set of data
filing/handling instructions. A whole host of programs are
illustrated for you to enjoy as you become more proficient
and able! You are shown how to write your own
programs so that you are soon in full command of this
powerful machine.
