easier to BSAVE the entire 512 bytes of all eight sprites, regardless if
all the sprites are used, rather than BSAVE each sprite block individ-
ually.
BLOAD Later on, when you want to use the sprites
again, just BLOAD the entire 512 bytes for all of
the sprites into the range starting at 3584
($0E00) and ending at 4095 ($0FFF). Here's the
command to accomplish this:
BLOAD "filename"!, BO, P3584]
Use the same filename you entered when you BSAVEd your original
sprite data. The "BO" stands for the bank number 0 and the P3584
specifies the starting location where the binary sprite data file is
loaded. The last two parameters are optional.
NOTE: When you BLOAD sprite data into the sprite storage area, all
the data that was previously there is overwritten with the
binary sprite data file. If you used SPRite DEFinition mode to
create sprites, BSAVE them before you BLOAD new data, or
your original data will be lost.

In this section you have seen how much the new Commodore 7.0 \ (
BASIC commands can simplify the usually complex process of cre
ating and animating graphic images. The next section describes
some other new BASIC 7.0 commands that do the same for music [ [
and sound.
