f.2/SAVE
SYNTAX:
SAVE " < File Name) (,A)
FUNCTION:
Used to save BASIC programs in the RAM of the PC-8201.
DESCRIPTION:
This statement saves BASIC programs in the memory into a file
designated with < file name) . Press the f.2 Function Key and type
{file name) and press the ^ Key in response to the prompt
"Save". When a file by that name already exists, the original file
content is overwritten.
When the option "A" is specified, the program is saved in the ASCII
format, and is then saved as a ".DO" TEXT file, instead of as a
".BA" BASIC file. When this option is not specified, the program
is saved in Binary format. An ASCII SAVE requires more storage
space than a Binary SAVE.
