NOTE The
Autoexec script
One script can be designated as the autoexec script. When the Series 2600 is turned on, the
autoexec script will start after all the autorun scripts have run.
loadscript autoexec
loadandrunscript autoexec
An autoexec script can be formed by creating a new script and naming it
above using
autoexec.save()
(described earlier in this section) for details on creating a script.
An autoexec script can also be created by changing the name of an existing script that is saved in
non-volatile memory by using the following command:
myscript.save("autoexec")
where:
Example:
Assume a script named "test6" is saved in non-volatile memory. That script can be made into an
autoexec script as follows:
test6.save("autoexec")
The next time the Series 2600 is turned on, the "test6" script will automatically load and start after
all of the autorun scripts have run.
Running a user script from the Series 2600 front panel controls
In order to run a user script from the front panel, an entry for the script needs to be added to the
User menu for the LOAD key. The following commands are used to enter or delete a name into the
User menu:
display.loadmenu.add(displayname, script)
display.loadmenu.delete(displayname)
where:
It does not matter what order the items are added to the User menu. Menu items will be displayed
in alphabetical order when the menu is selected.
Example:
Assume a user script named "Test9" has been loaded into the run-time environment. Add the
name ("Test9") to the User menu for the script as follows:
display.loadmenu.add(Test9, Test9)
