Statement

[#I
buffer,number
Transfers data from the communications line to the communica-
tions buffer.
Buffer
must be the same
buffer
assigned
t o
the file when it was
opened. The number sign
(#)
is optional.
It
is provided for com-
patibility with other BASICs.
Number is
the number of bytes to transfer.
Number
cannot ex-
ceed the value used in the LEN option of the OPEN COM
statement.
Note: Because of the low performance associated with
telephone line communications, we recommend that
you not use GET and PUT statements in such appli-
cations. Instead, use the other disk 110 statements.
