To Our Customers. ..

The TRS-80® Model III Computer is avery powerful tool for business ,home and

recreation. Twenty years ago, this capability would have cost hundreds of times as

much as your Model III cost, and would have taken up an entire room.

In spite of its power and internal complexity ,the Model III can be quite simple to

operate. In fact, you can determine just how "technical" amachine you want it to

be.

At the simplest level of operation, you can use Radio Shack prepared cassette

programs .All you will need to know is how to load and run acassette program, and

how to operate the cassette recorder. If this is where you want to start, read

Chapters 1through 6in the Operation Section. You may also want to read about

CLOAD and SYSTEM in Chapter 16 in the Language Section.

If you want to write your own programs and you are abeginner, read Chapters 1

through 6in the Operation Section, then start reading the book, Getting Started

with TRS-80 BASIC. That, plus several other Radio Shack books, can guide you to

becoming aprogrammer in BASIC and Z-80 language ('

'machine code")

If you already know BASIC ,and especially if you have experience on aTRS-80

Model I, read the entire Operation Section of this manual, as well as the Appendix

which compares the Model Iand Model III. The Model III has many unique

features and some very important differences .Afew minutes spent before you

press (ENTER) could save you hours later.

About This Manual

This manual contains operating instructions and adescription of Model III BASIC. It

is arranged for easy reference, whether you are seeking simple or technical

information. Pages are numbered sequentially, and there is acomprehensive Index

at the end of the book.

If you are a beginner, don't worry about the technical parts in the Operation

Section. The beginning of each chapter is for you .(When you get to the POKE

statements ,you can skip ahead to the next chapter. ..)You don'tneed to read past

Chapter 6. Then, when you learn simple BASIC programming, you can return and

try out all the "goodies" packed into your Model III.

Very Important Note

Before you even plug in your Model III. read Chapters 2and 3—no

matter how much you think you know. This applies whether you

have acassette- or disk-based system

Remember, when all else fails, read the instructions!
