will be displayed.
If a cartridge is not inserted in the Atari, the following message,
NO CARTRIDGE
will appear on the screen when the Run Cartridge operation is
chosen. Another operation must then be chosen from the DOS
Menu.
If you are using DOS version 2.0 , the Run Cartridge operation
should n ot be used to return to BASIC when the MEM.SAV file
exists on the di skette. Instead, the System Reset key should be
pressed to re turn to BASIC. By following this procedure , data will
be correct ly returned into memory from MEM.SAV. MEM.5AV
will be discussed in more detail later in this chapter .
c. Copy File
The Copy File disk operation is used on Atari systems with two or
more disk drives to copy a file from the diskette in one drive to a
diskette in another drive. Copy File can al so be used to create a
back-up copy of a file on the same diskette with a different
filename.
When Copy File is exec ut ed, the following prompt will appear
on the video display:
COPY-FROM, TO?
The FROM parameter specifi es the file or files to be cop ied. The
FROM parameter generally consists of a file specificat ion , but
can al so be a device name such as the vid eo screen (E:) .
Filename match characters can be used in the file specification
used for the FROM parameter.
