Using Floppy Disks
Saving, Loading, & Deleting Disk Files

Saving to Disk

A single floppy disk can hold up to 99 separate files (depending on the file size). Each file on a disk has a
unique file number (01 through 99) and file name. You can specify both the file number and file name you want
to save to.
When saving data to disk you must also specify a file type according to the type of data you want to save.
The file types are listed below (they're also listed on the panel in the DISK control section). The "file extension"
is a period and three-character suffix attached to the end of each file name to identify the file type.
