1.5 For Experienced Users
If you are already an experienced Turbo user, you may be eager to begin using Turbo without reading further.
Feel free to do so and refer to the manual as needed. To run the program, type turbo14 on the DOS
command line after it has been installed.
One important change to note is that
s (the S key) is no longer used to enter a negative number— negative
numbers are now indicated by preceeding the number with the minus key.
