Running
the
Application Programs
Three
BASIC
programs
are
included
on tape to let you get used to
the
VOXBOX:
•
An
Inventory
Demonstrator
that
lets you specify items and
quantities
from
an
imaginary
inventory.
•
A
Lunar
Lander that
simulates the
landing
of a space craft on
the
lunar
surface.
You
control
the rate
of
descent by commanding
the
craft to
fire
specified
fuel bursts.
•
A
Voice
Plotter that
gives you
a
graphic representation of any
sound
you
make.
In
all
these
demonstration
programs,
the Computer will display
a
dot
in the
upper
left
corner of
the
Screen when
it is listening.
This means
it is time
for you
to press
the
push-to-talk button and
say
the
appropriate
word or
phrase.
To
interrupt
the
Com
puter
while it
is waiting for speech input,
hold
down
the
HHacid key
while
you speak
into
the Mic.
Loading
the
Programs
All the
programs are
designed to
run
under LEVELIIBASIC. If you
are
operating
under
TRSDOS,
type
BASIC2
gJjJJS
Note:
These
three
Applications
programs will not run under
DISKBASIC
because
of
differences
in the USR function. However,
you
can
write
programs
(or
modify these) to
run
under
DISKBASIC.
(See
Section
5.)
Prepare
the
recorder
to play
the
desired tape
program, then use
the
BASIC
command,
CLOAD,
to load
the program. Instructions for
running
each
program
follow.
