8 is disk {or 9, A, etc.)
The Load command causes a file to be loaded into memory. The start
ing address is contained in the first two bytes of the file (a program file).
In other words, the LOAD command always loads a file into the same
place it was saved from. This is very important in machine language
work, since few programs are completely relocatable. The file is
loaded into memory until the end of file (EOF) is found.
EXAMPLE: L "SCREEN", 1
reads a file from
cassette.
L-TANK". 8
reads a file from disk.
COMMAND: M {MEMORY DISPLAY)
PURPOSE To display memory as a hexadecimal and ASCII dump
within the specified address range.
SYNTAX: M [oddress l>]\<address>\
[oddress 1 >] First address of memory dump. Optional. If omitted,
one page is displayed. The first byte is the last address specified.
[oddress 2>] Last address of memory dump. Optional. If omitted,
one page is displayed. The first byte is the data of [oddress 1>].
Memory is displayed in the following format:
1E7 00AAAA00 98 56 45:A!.*..VE
Memory content may be edited using the screen editor. Move the cur
sor to the data to be modified and type the desired correction and hit
return. If there is a bad RAM location or an attempt to modify ROM has
occurred, an error flag (?) is displayed.
An ASCII dump of the data is displayed in REVERSE (to contrast the
dump with other data displayed on the screen) to the right of the hex
data. When a character is not printable, it is displayed as a reversed
period (.).
