Modes of GW-BASIC Operation

GW-BASIC can operate in two modes.

1-Direct mode: When GW-BASIC is loaded, it shows OK message, it is in Direct Mode. In this mode GW-BASIC commands are executed as they are typed. Results are displayed immediately but the commands themselves are lost after execution.

2- Indirect Mode: The Indirect mode is used to type the programs. The program loaded in memory is executed by entering RUN command.
