📖 ATARI SHIELD MANUAL

Every program command needs a line number at the front (e.g., 10, 20) so the computer knows the order. System commands (LIST, RUN) are typed without a number.

COMMANDS

• PRINT "HELLO" + A$ - Writes text. You can append variables to text with a plus (+) or semicolon (;)!
• INPUT A$ - Stops and saves the input to A$. For numbers use INPUT A.
• IF A$ = "X" THEN GOTO 50 - The filter. You can use =, <, >.
• POKE 712, RED - Changes the background color! (Replace RED with BLUE for normal state)
• GOTO 10 - Jumps immediately to line number 10.
• END - Terminates the program.

SYSTEM (Direct commands without number)

• LIST - Shows your entire code.
• RUN - Starts the program.
• NEW - Clears the entire memory.
