One day she asked to type on my
Commodore 64. So, I let her. She learned how to use the arrow keys
(unlike an Apple II, where in BASIC you can't easily cursor around the
screen) and the backspace key. -snip-

Sure you can. Enter escape mode by pressing 'esc' and you can move
around the screen with the ijkm diamond. Once you placed the cursor,
you exit escape mode by pressing 'esc' again. Paired with the left and
right arrow keys it makes editing basic programs a breeze.
