- | 5950 &" | + | The galaxy is divided into an 8,8 quadrant grid which is in turn divided into an 8,8 sector grid. |
- | 5960 &" | + | |
- | 5970 &" | + | The cast of characters is as follows: |
- | 5980 &" | + | |
- | 5990 &" | + | <*> = Enterprise |

- | 6030 &" | + | ==== Command |
- | 6040 &" | + | |
- | 6045 PRINT | + | Course is in a circular numerical vector arrangement as shown. |
- | 6046 &" | + | |
- | 6060 &" | + | |

- | 6111 &" | + | 6 7 8 |
- | 6120 &" | + | |
- | 6130 &" | + | Integer and real values may be used. Therefore course 1.5 is half way between 1 and 2. |
- | 6140 &" | + | |
- | 6150 &" | + | A vector of 9 is undefined, but values may approach |
- | 6160 PRINT | + | |
- | 6161 &" | + | One warp factor is the size of one quadrant. Therefore to get from quadrant |
- | 6170 &" | + | |
- | 6180 &" | + | ==== Command |
- | 6190 &" | + | |
- | 6200 &" | + | Print the quadrant you are currently in. Including stars, Klingons, starbases, and the Enterprise, along with other pertinant information. |
- | 6210 PRINT | + | |
- | 6211 &" | + | ==== Command |
- | 6220 &" | + | |
- | 6230 PRINT | + | Shows conditions in space for one quadrant on each side of the Enterprise in the middle of the scan. The scan is coded in the form XXX, where the units digit is the number of stars, the tens digit is the number of starbases. The hundreds digit is the number of Klingons. |
- | 6231 &" | + | |
- | 6240 &" | + | ==== Command |
- | 6250 &" | + | |
- | 6251 &" | + | Allows you to destroy the Klingons by hitting him with suitably large numbers of energy units to deplete his shield power. Keep in mind that when you shoot at him, he gonna shoot at you, too! |

- | 6350 &" | + | ==== Command |
- | 6360 &" | + | |
- | 6370 &" | + | Gives state of repairs of all devices. A state of repair less than zero shows that the device is temporarily damaged. |
