6.3 File Control Statements
DIR
Format DIR[/P][RAM]
Explanation The DIR command displays the names of files on the RAM file board.
Specifying DIR/P sends the contents of the directory to the printer.
The optional MZ-1R18 RAM file board is required for this command to be valid.
RAM may be omitted when the RAM file board is specified in the DEFAULT state-
ment or it is logged as the default device.
The device specified in the DIR command becomes the default device.
Each filename is followed by one of the following three file types.
BTX: BASIC program files
BSD: BASIC sequential data files or program files written in ASCII format
OBJ: Machine-language files
Example DIR RAM.............0.....:..00.. Displays a directory of the RAM file board files.

RUN
Format RUN [‘‘[<device name > :]<filename>"’[, { A a
\R
Abbreviated Format
R.
Explanation Erases the existing programs in the BASIC program area and clears the program
work area, then loads the program specified with < filename > into the BASIC pro-
gram area from the device indicated with <device name>. Then, this command
executes the program from its beginning.
<device name> may be omitted when the default device or the device specified
in the DEFAULT statement is to be used. When all parameters are omitted, this
command does not erase the program in the BASIC program area.
To load and execute a program which has been saved in the form of BSD file writ-
ten in ASCII codes, specify the A option.
Specifying the R option makes it possible to load an OBJ file in the same manner
as IPL.
The file types which can be loaded are BTX, BSD and OBJ.
RUN "CMT:PROG" ........:-.0-0+- Loads BTX file “PROG” from the cassette
tape and executes it.
RUN “'CMT:DATA”’A............. Loads BSD file ‘‘DATA”’ from the cassette
tape and executes it.
