REMEMBER INTEGER BASIC?  IT HAS AN

"AUTO" COMMAND WHICH MAKES THE COMPUTER

AUTOMATICALLY TYPE PROGRAM LINE NUMBERS

FOR YOU.  NO SUCH COMMAND EXISTS IN

APPLESOFT BASIC, BUT NOW YOU HAVE

"AUTO-NUMBER".  JUST BRUN AUTO-NUMBER

AND ENTER A NUMBER.  LINE NUMBERS WILL

INCREMENT BY TENS STARTING WITH THE

NUMBER YOU ENTERED.  TO GET OUT OF

AUTO-NUMBER, TYPE CTRL-X.

IF YOU USE THE BACK ARROW TO TYPE BACK

OVER THE NUMBER BEING PROFFERED, AND

THEN ENTER A NEW NUMBER, AUTO NUMBERING

WILL START WITH THE NEW NUMBER YOU

ENTERED.

   AUTO-NUMBER IS VOLATILE: IT VANISHES

WHEN YOU RUN THE PROGRAM YOU ARE

WRITING.
