Programming Basics
Until now all moves have been done in what is called immediate mode: the ULTRA Plus or IQ is told to
move and it moves. It is usually more useful to have all the moves a machine will do, along with I/O
statements, etc., in a program. We will now explore how programs are written and used.
Select New from the File menu. A window will be displayed and your screen should look something

TITLE “firstpgm”
MOVD 10
DELAY 1
MOVE DISTANCE - 10
END
After the text has been entered, select Compile from the Edit menu or press F2. A dialog box showing
that the program is being compiled will be displayed. In a few seconds, your screen should look some-
