Commodore Plus 4 - Numeric Functions

60 The BASIC Language
After you issue a LOAD command for a disk program, the computer displays
the message OK SEARCHING. When the program is loaded, the message
(program name) FOUND is displayed, with the program's name displayed. Type
RUN to execute the program.
Parameters: "file name", device number, relocate flag
1. You must include the name of the file or use wild cards to get the first
program whose name matches. Enter the name in quotes. You can use a variable
name in place of the file name. The variable must have a value. It may be in
parentheses (not in quotes). The only time this is likely to be useful is when you
load a program from within another program.
2. Device number is 1 for cassette recorder, and 8 for disk drive. The default
value is 1, so you can omit this parameter if you are loading from a cassette tape.
3. You are unlikely to use the relocate flag except for machine-language
programs. A flag of 0 tells the computer to load the program at the beginning of
the BASIC program area, and 1 loads the program at the memory location from
which it was saved.
Note: For disks, only program-type files can be LOADed.
Note: In program mode, a RUN command (with no CLR) is automatically
issued following a LOAD operation. For example, you may want to LOAD a
machine language subroutine from BASIC.
10 IFL=OTHENL=1 : LOAD "file",8,1
The LOAD is executed only once, and the program continues.
Examples: LOAD Loads the next program on tape.
LOAD "SHAPES3",8 Loads file SHAPES3 from disk.
90 LOAD (Y$) Loads a file from tape. The name of the file is the
current value of Y$.
LOCATE Abbr. loC
LOCATE coordinates
Repositions the pixel cursor on a graphic mode screen. The invisible pixel
cursor marks the final point of the previous drawing and the default beginning
point of the next drawing.
