REM remarks
Contains comments explaining program lines. REMarks make the program
easier to understand when any user reads the program lines. If your program is
longer than just a few lines, you should include REMarks so your program is well
documented. Because REM statements are ignored by the computer, they can
contain anything.
Parameter: remark
The remark does not need to be enclosed in quotation marks.
Note: In most BASIC lines, shifted characters are allowed only for abbrevia
tions or in quotes. In a REM statement, shifted characters are fine until the
program is LISTed. The computer treats a shifted character as a BASIC token
and prints, not the character, but the BASIC keyword it corresponds to (see
Appendix B for a token list). This is very annoying. If you want shifted characters
in a REMark, put them inside quotes to avoid this problem.
Example: 10 REM PRINT A GREETING WITH THE USER'S NAME
SO INPUT "WHAT'S YOUR NAME"; N$
30 PRINT "HELLO, "; N$; ", WHAT'S NEW?"
RENAME Abbr. reN
RENAME Ddrive, old file name TO new file name, ON Uunit
Replaces the name of a disk file. The file itself is not affected.
Parameters: D drive number, "old name" TO "new name", U unit number
1. Give the number of the drive containing the disk whose file you want to
rename. Drive numbers are either 0 or 1; no other numbers are allowed. The
default value is 0. This parameter is optional. If you are using a single drive, leave
out the drive number.
2. Always list the file's current name first. Be sure to put it in quotes.
3. TO is part of the RENAME command and must be included.
4. Enclose in quotes the new name you want to give the file.
5. U unit number is an optional parameter. Use it only if you have more than
