loading and running disk software
Here is the procedure you follow to
load prepackaged disk softwares or disk
software that you have programmed
yourself:
1. INSERT THE DISK INTO
THE DISK DRIVE.
Make sure the disk is all the way in,
but don't force it.
2. PULL DOWN THE LEVER
ON THE FRONT OF THE DISK
DRIVE.
(Some drives may have a small door or
shutter instead of a lever).
3. TYPE:
LOAD "PROGRAM NAME", 8
Here, the words PROGRAM NAME
stand for the name of the prepackaged
software program that you're using.
Note that you must enclose the pro
gram name in quotation marks. The
number 8 tells the computer that you're
loading a disk program.

In some cases, prepackaged disk soft

enter the LOAD command. Also, some
commercial software may have an auto
matic RUN command built into the
program. Check the software instruc
tions carefully, especially if you have
any problems.
