ThinkTank Manual
* REPT: [Apple II only] The REPEAT key, when held
down simultaneously with another key, causes the
other key to repeat. On the Apple IIe and III, you
can repeat a key by simply holding it down.
* RETURN: The RETURN key enters a headline into Think—
Tank or selects a command. You use it to indicate
that you are satisfied with your current entry or
command and want the computer to accept it. Al-
though it is sometimes called a carriage return, you
will generally not use it to move from the end of
one line to the beginning of the next, since Think—
Tank does this automatically.
* DELETE: [Apple IIe only] In ThinkTank’s text
editor, the DELETE key is used to erase characters
or selected blocks of text.
* RESET: The RESET key terminates whatever program is
running and causes your computer to act like it had
just been turned on. (Since this can be a rather
drastic measure, some computers require you to press
CTRL—RESET to minimize the chance of accidentally
resetting your computer.) You may use RESET to
start up ThinkTank (see below). However, DO NOT
PRESS THE RESET KEY while running ThinkTank except
in the rare case that your computer “hangs” and will
not respond to your commands. Pressing RESET causes
a premature exit from the program and you will lose
any information that hasn’t yet been recorded on
your data disk.
In addition to these special keys, the Apple III has a
numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard. You can use
all of its keys in ThinkTank. The ENTER key is equivalent to
the RETURN key described above.
