Hexadecimal Numbers
Hexadecimal numbers are used throughout the document. They are always preceded by an ampersand sign(&). Where appropriate, the decimal equivalent should also be shown. e.g. 15 (&0F).

Any snippets of RISC OS source code (pseudo or otherwise) will be shown within a bounding box with a fixed size typeface to ensure easy viewing. Eg.

PRINT “Looping from 1 to 10.”
FOR temp = 1 TO 10
PRINT "Count: " temp
NEXT temp
Syntax
Throughout the manual, symbols are used to represent the syntax.

| [optional] | Braces indicates that the item enclosed is optional. For example, [filename] shows that you may omit the filename |
| on|off | A bar indicates that either value may be used. For example, on|off means that you must supply the value on or off |
