Using the BASIC Stamp Editor
The BASIC Stamp DOS Editor, shown in Figure 3.4 was designed to be
very simple and to provide only the necessary functionality needed for
developing with a BASIC Stamp. Those that are familiar with standard
DOS software should feel comfortable using the BASIC Stamp DOS Editor.
You must run the version of the DOS editor that is intended for the model
of the BASIC Stamp you are using. There is a different version for each
model. Refer to Table 3.1 for a list of the editors, versions and the BASIC
Stamp models they support.
The BASIC Stamp DOS Editor can only load and edit one source code file
at a time. Source code can be loaded into the editor by pressing ALT-L
and selecting a file from the menu. NOTE: That the browse menu only
shows files in the current directory; the directory that the BASIC Stamp
DOS Editor is run from.
BS2e, BS2sx and BS2p models support up to eight programs to be
downloaded into separate program slots. From here on, any application
for these models of the BASIC Stamp will be called a project. A project is a
set of up to eight files that should all be downloaded to the BASIC Stamp
for a single application.
downloaded into a separate "program slot". Only the BASIC Stamp 2e, 2sx
and 2p modules support projects (multiple program slots).
