===== RESTORE ✓ =====

===== SYNTAX =====
     RESTORE label

==== PURPOSE ====


The ''RESTORE'' command is used to reset the data read pointer to the beginning 
of a list of ''DATA''. Imagine having a cassette tape with numbers on it, and 
you want to read those numbers one at a time. When you use ''RESTORE'', it's as 
if you're rewinding the tape to the beginning, ready to read all the numbers again.

When the program encounters this command, the data read pointer is automatically 
reset to the beginning of the first data list you defined. If you give a ''parameter'',
you can set the pointer to the label given.

The ''RESTORE'' command is especially useful when you want to reuse a list of data.
If you need to read the same data multiple times in your program, you can use 
''RESTORE'' to reset the pointer to the beginning of the list without having to
retype it. If you want to read only part of the data, you can use ''RESTORE'' to 
skip parts of the list and start reading from a specific point. If you want to 
create loops that read the data, by combining ''RESTORE'' with other commands 
such as ''READ'' and ''DATA'', you can create loops that repeatedly read 
the same data.
