DLOAD "program name"
Example: DLOAD "HOW TO USE"
After each command press the RETURN key
The exact name of the program you want to load is placed between quotation marks.
After you type in the command and press the RETURN key, the following will
appear on the screen:
SEARCHING FOR "HOW TO USE"
LOADING
READY .
•
When the word READY and the flashing cursor reappear on the screen and the red
light goes off on the drive, the program named "HOW TO USE" on the Test/Demo
diskette has been loaded into the computer's memory. To use it, just type the word RUN
and press the RETURN key.
If a program isn't written in BASIC, it may require a different loading method,
which may be indicated in the instructions that accompany the program package. The
format for that command is:
LOAD "Program name", 8, 1 (press RETURN)
This command is used for machine language programs, which are covered in more
detail later. At this point, however, try this command if a program doesn't load properly
using the other command.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Throughout the rest of this manual, when the format for a command is given,
anything that is capitalized must be included as is when you type in the command.
Anything in lower case is more or less a definition of what belongs there. For
instance, in the format for the HEADER command given below, the word
HEADER, the capital I in lid, the capital D in Ddrive #, and the capital U in
Udevice
#
must all be typed-in as is.
On the other hand, diskette name tells you that you must enter a name for the
diskette, but it is up to you to decide what that name will be. Also, the id in lid is
left to your discretion, as are the drive # in Ddrive #, and the device # in Udevice
#. Be aware, however, that there are certain limits placed on what you can use. In
each case, those limits are explained immediately following the format.
Also be sure to type in all punctuation exactly where and how it is shown in
the format.
