EDITOR SECTION 7. 2
7.2.2 Entry from BASIC
When in Basic (see section 4), it is possible to use the Editor to
load a file or to Edit a program which has already been loaded into
the TPA.
To Edit a Basic program already resident in the TPA, it is only
necessary to type:
EDIT (followed by 'Enter')
or
Fn key
3 (followed by 'Enter')
There will be a slight delay while the Basic program is un-entokened
to give an ASCII representation. The screen will then appear as
shown above and editing can proceed as required.
Alternatively, if a new file is to be loaded into the workspace,
entering:
Edit "filename" (followed by 'Enter')
If the file extension is omitted, the .HBA extension will be assumed
and will first load the file and then invoke the editor.
When exiting from the Editor after entering from Basic, use of EXIT
will cause the ASCII character representation used by the Editor to
be entokened ready for execution by Basic. This procedure can take a
few seconds for larger programs.
After EXIT, the user is returned to Basic.
NOTE: Any unnumbered lines will not be entokened and consequently
will be lost. Any duplicated line number will cause the earlier
entry to be lost.
