BASIC programs
If you want to store a BASIC program on the file server so that
you can use it again later
type:
SAVE"<filename>"[RETURN]
A copy of the BASIC program in your computer's memory will be
taken and stored for you on the file server. This copy is called a
file, and is stored with the filename you typed in.
EXAMPLE
Type: SAVE"TUESDAY"[RETURN]
To get a BASIC. program back from disc into your computer
type:
LOAD"<filename>"[RETURN]
EXAMPLE
Type:
LOAD"MATHS"[RETURN]
To run the program, type RUN as usual.
To load and run a BASIC program in one operation
type:
CHAIN"<filename>"[RETURN]
EXAMPLE
Type:
CHAIN"BASIC"[RETURN]
If, when using SAVE, you specify a filename that is the same
as an existing filename, the new program will replace the old
one. This is useful if you are writing a new version of an old
program, but frustrating if you delete the old file
unintentionally. We explain later how to protect your files
against accidental deletion.
