EXAMPLE

The DOS command is used to display the DOS utilities Menu .
DOS must be present if the DOS command is to be used. If DOS
is not present, the system will be put into the Memo Pad mode .
To return
to BASIC from Memo Pad, press SYSTEM RESET .
When the DOS command is executed, all I/ O channels will be
closed except
channel 0. The display is cleared and the sound
voices are shut off.
Also, the color registers resume their default
values.
The Disk Operating System Menu is a list of 15 di sk functions .
There are two versions of the Disk Operating System, version 1.0
and version 2.0S. The DOS command has a different effect in
each
of the two versions.
In version 1.0, the DOS Menu appears on the display as soon as
DOS is executed.
