TIPS
----------
DIVIDE SECTOR COUNT BY 4 TO GET 'K' USED.
STOP WILL DO SAME AS END BUT WILL GIVE # OF LINE PROGRAM ENDED ON.
YOU CAN START A FILE WITH ANY CHARACTER WHO'S ASCII CHARACTER IS ABOVE 63
IF YOU'RE WRITING PROGRAMS THAT SOMEONE ELSE WILL SEE USE 'PRINT SPC(10)'
INSTEAD OF PRINT" "
TO GET THE POSITIVE LOCATION OF AN ADDRESS ADD 65536 TO THE NUMBER.
EG.---> CALL -958 = CALL 64578
TO GET THE ALTERNATE CHARACTERS HOLD DOWN THE 'SHIFT', 'U', AND 'I' KEYS
AND TYPE : 'Y' FOR UNDERLINE
'H' FOR BACKSLASH
'J' FOR LEFT BRACKET
