SelecType exercise

You don’t need to know anything about programming for this exercise because it is merely for practice. If you would rather not use BASIC, use your word processing or business program to create a short file or document of the type you will usually print.

If you do want to use BASIC for this exercise, simply turn on your computer and printer and load BASIC. Then type the short program listed below. Only the words inside the quotation marks are printed. You can put anything you want there. (If your version of BASIC does not use LPRINT, consult your BASIC manual.)
