You can use the counter on the Datassette to identify the starting
position of the programs. Then, when you want to retrieve a
program, simply wind the tape forward from 000 to the program’s
start location, and type:
load nniiiiii
ln this case, you do not have to specify the PROGRAM NAME;
your program will load automatically because it is the next
program on the tape.
NOTE: During the LOAD process, the program being
LOADed is not erased from the tape; it is simply copied into
the computer. However, LOADing a program automatically
erases any BASIC program that may have been in the
computer’s memory.
OTHER DISK-RELATED COMMANDS
VERIFYING A PROGRAM
To verify that a program has been correctly saved or loaded,
type:
VERIFY“PROGRAM NAME”,8 RCTURM
If the program in the computer is identical to the one on the disk,
the screen display will respond with the letters “OK”.
The VERIFY command also works for tape programs. You type:
VERIFY“PROGRAM NAME” MTURH
Note that you do not enter the comma and the number 8, since 8
indicates that you are working with a disk program.
DISPLAYING YOUR DISK DIRECTORY
To see a list of the programs on your disk, first type:
LOAD“$”,8 RETURN
The cursor disappears during this process. When the cursor
reappears, type:
list hi iimn
