HomeWriter-10 Features
In this chapter and the next we describe the printing and graphics
features of the HomeWriter-10, but many of you won’t need these
chapters. How much of the rest of this manual you use depends upon
three things:
l How much you already know about computers and printers
l What kind of printing you are interested in
l What software you plan to use.
If you have quite a bit of experience with computers, you may want
to skip to Appendix B, which has a full description of the
HomeWriter- commands. On the other hand, even if you are a
computer novice, your software manual may contain all the printing
instructions you need.
Just about any program for a Commodore computer that is
designed to produce single-color printed copy will work with the
HomeWriter-10.
Demonstration Programs
The demonstration programs included in these chapters are written
in the BASIC programming language. Although we know that you
will probably not use BASIC for most of your printing, we chose to
include these programs because every Commodore has built-in
BASIC.
You don’t need to understand BASIC programming to run these
programs. Although we supply a few notes about using Commodore
BASIC with a printer in the next section, in most cases all you need to
