EXAMPLE:
A)REN
DAISY.TXT=DAISY.MEM
[RETURN]

has been changed
to

3. REN
can
also
be
used
to
change
the
name, but not the extension, of a file
within
the
same drive.
Let's
look
at
the
following example:
FORMAT:
REN X-ASM=Y.ASM
[RETURN]
EXAMPLE:
A)REN
RECQRD,ASM='fECB.A5M
[RETURN]
RESULT:
The file TECH.ASM has been changed
to
RECORD.ASM.

can
also rename a file on a drive other than the currently-logged disk:·
FORMAT:
REN B:X.BAS=Z.BAS
[RETURN]
EXAMPLE:
A)REN
B: INUIAL.BAS=PROMPT.BAS
[RETURN]
RESULT:
On
Drive
B,
the
filename PROMPT
.BAS
has been changed
to
INITIAL.BAS.
The
SAVE Command
The
SAVE command
is
most
useful
to
programmers and
to
users who need
to
write
data
directly
to
disk from the TPA.
Under
most
circumstances,
using
SAVE requires experience with
data
addressing and
the
specific location in the
RAM
of individual blocks of
data.
However, this command may provide
away
to
create
emergency
disk
copies
of
data,
if
you
are
trying
to
retrieve
the
data
after
a RESET. See the TPA Command for details of
that
procedure.
