Remars
VER.V09F
Sets the maximum number of files that may be opened
simultaneously to four.
MAXFILES will perform a 'CLEAR' operation destroying all
existing symbol table entries.
It must therefore be
defined at an early point in the program.
MAXFILES may also be used for input, for example:
100 PRINT"Maximum number of files to be opened = ";MAXFILES
will display:
Maximum number of files to be opened=
4
If no MAXFILES has been specified a default value of one is
taken.
The maximum number of files that may be opened simultaneous-
ly is 15.
