Verifying A Program
To verify that a program has been correctly saved or loaded, type:
VERIFY"PROGRAM NAME",8
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" B^^M

can restore the disk drive to the condition it was in before the error

If the light is still blinking, remove the disk and press the disk drive
reset switch with a pointed object such as a pen.
Do NOT use a pencil—the point could snap and damage your com
puter.
