LPRINT "k NAME k PHONE k"

180

LPRINT

"fgjjjjjjijjjjjjjh"

185 LPRINT

 

 

190

LPRINT

RUN the program to produce pair of boxes as shown below.

NAME PHONE

Note the the text lines use only uppercase letters since you’ve replaced the lowercase versions with your own characters.

Make sure you SAVE this program as LINE-but before you do, delete lines 170 to 1%.
