When {\ttfamily LIST} is used without any numbers typed after it (known as
433433
\emph{arguments}), you will see a complete listing of the program on your
434-
screen. If the program scrolls off the screen, and you are unable to see the
435-
part that you want, you have a couple of options. First, you can use the
436-
\widekey{CTRL} key to slow down how fast lines are printed to the screen. The

The {\ttfamily LIST} command also allows the listing to be paused by tapping
437+
the \widekey{SPACE} bar. Otherwise, it continues to work as before. This
438+
feature works best with the cursor near the bottom of the screen as the X16
439+
listing will quickly scroll past the top of the screen. Some practice may be
440+
needed to effectively pause when needed.\\
441+
442+
While paused, it is possible to use \doublekey{Page\\Down} to show one page at
443+
a time or the \widekey{↓} to advance one line at a time. If the
444+
\widekey{SPACE} bar is pressed in the paused state, listing will continue.
445+
While paging, several blank lines remain at the bottom of the screen for
446+
lengthy BASIC logical lines. Also, there is room for the {\ttfamily READY}
447+
prompt after tapping the \doublekey{Pause\\Break} key while exiting the
448+
listing. For single-line stepping the entire screen is used.\\
