Once
a
program
has
been
SAVEd,
you
can
LOAD
it
back
into
the
computer's
memory
and
RUN
it
anytime
you
wish.
LOADing
from
Disk
Loading
a
program
simply
copies
the
contents
of
the
program
from
the
disk
into
the
computer's
memory.
If
a
BASIC
program
was
already
in
memory
before
you
issued
the
LOAD
command,
it
is
erased.
To
load
your
BASIC
program
from
a
disk,
use
either
of
the
following
commands
in
C128
mode:
DLOAD"PROGRAM
NAME'1
LOAD"PROGRAM
NAME",8
Remember,
in
C128
mode
you
can
use
the
F'2
function
key
(which
you
activate
by
pressing
SHIFT
and
F1)
to
display
the
sequence
DLOAD",
or
you
can
type
the
letters
yourself.
In
the
second
exam
ple,
the
8
indicates
to
the
computer
that
you
are
loading
from
device
number
8.
Again,
like
DSAVE,
DLOAD
assumes
the
disk-drive
device
number
is
8.
Be
careful
to
type
the
program
name
exactly
as
you
typed
it
when
SAVEing
the
program,
or
the
computer
will
respond
"FILE
NOT
FOUND."
Once
the
program
is
loaded,
type
RUN
to
execute.
The
Commodore
128
has
a
special
form
of
the
RUN
command
used
to
LOAD
and
RUN
the
program
in
C128
mode
with
one
command.
Type
RUN,
fol
lowed
by
the
name
of
the
program
(also
known
as
the
filename)
in
quotes:
RUN"MYPROG"
LOADing
from
Cassette
To
LOAD
your
program
from
cassette
tape,
type:
LOAD
"PROGRAM
NAME"
Ml
I
Mill
I
If
you
do
not
know
the
name
of
the
program,
you
can
type:
LOAD
RETURSl
and
the
next
program
on
the
tape
will
be
found.
While
the
Datassette
is
searching
for
the
program
the
screen
is
blank.
When
the
program
is
found,
the
screen
displays:
FOUND
PROGRAM
NAME

MODE—Getting
