Saves the current program on disk and gives

it a name. Option A saves the program in

ASCII format. Option P saves it protected.

SAVE filename [ , { A

is a string expression which specifies the name of the file to

be saved, and optionally the drive. If the filename extension

is omitted, .BAS is assumed. If the drive is omitted, the

default MS-DOS drive is assumed.

the A option will save the program in ASCII format.

Otherwise GWBASIC saves the file in a compressed binary

format. Programs saved in ASCII may be read as Data

Files or MERGEd.

the P option will save the program in an encoded binary

format. This is the protection option. When a protected

program is later RUN (or LOADed), any attempt to LIST or

EDIT it will fail with an "Illegal function call" error. No

way is provided to "unprotect" such a program.
