Once a program has been SAVEd, you can LOAD it back into the
computer's memory and RUN it anytime you wish.
LOADing from Disk
Loading a program simply copies the contents of the program from
the disk into the computer's memory. If a BASIC program was
already in memory before you issued the LOAD command, it is
erased.
To load your BASIC program from a disk, use either of the following
commands in C128 mode:
DLOAD"PROGRAM NAME'1
LOAD"PROGRAM NAME",8
Remember, in C128 mode you can use the F'2 function key (which
you activate by pressing SHIFT and F1) to display the sequence
DLOAD", or you can type the letters yourself. In the second exam
ple, the 8 indicates to the computer that you are loading from device
number 8. Again, like DSAVE, DLOAD assumes the disk-drive device
number is 8. Be careful to type the program name exactly as you
typed it when SAVEing the program, or the computer will respond
"FILE NOT FOUND."
Once the program is loaded, type RUN to execute. The Commodore
128 has a special form of the RUN command used to LOAD and
RUN the program in C128 mode with one command. Type RUN, fol
lowed by the name of the program (also known as the filename) in
quotes:
RUN"MYPROG"
LOADing from Cassette
To LOAD your program from cassette tape, type:
LOAD "PROGRAM NAME"
Ml I Mill I
If you do not know the name of the program, you can type:
LOAD
RETURSl
and the next program on the tape will be found. While the Datassette
is searching for the program the screen is blank. When the program
is found, the screen displays:
FOUND PROGRAM NAME
