Abbreviations: MER., MERG.

Purpose
The MERGE command is used to load a program saved on cassette tape and merge it with programs existing in memory. It can
only be used with the optional PC-3 Printer/Cassette Interface.
Use
The first form of the MERGE command loads the first program stored on the tape, starting at the current position, and merges
it with programs already in memory.
The second form of the MERGE command searches the tape for the program whose name is given by "filename", and merges it
with the programs already in memory.
Programs with overlapping line numbers are treated as one program after merging.
If the program in memory is passward-protected, another password-protected program cannot be merged with it. If the program
on cassette is not password-protected, it becomes protected by the password of the program in memory when merged.
