Formatting A Disk In C64 Mode; The Save Command; Saveing On Disk - Commodore 128 System Manual

Once you have edited a program, you will probably want to store
it permanently so that you will be able to recall and use it at some
later time. To do this you need either a Commodore disk drive or
the Commodore Datassette.

FORMATTING A DISK IN C64 MODE

To store programs on a new (or blank) disk, you must first
prepare the disk to receive data. This is called formatting the disk.
Make sure that you turn on the disk drive before inserting any
disk.
To format a blank disk, in C64 Mode, you type this command:
OPEN15,8,15:PRINT#15," NO:NAME,ID" RI~TUHN~
ln place of NAME, type a disk name of your choice; you can use
up to 16 characters to identify the disk, ln place of ID, type a two
character code of your choice (such as W2 or 10).
The cursor disappears during the formatting process. When the
cursor blinks again, type the following command:
CLOSE 15
NOTE: Once a disk is formatted in C64 or C128 mode, that disk
can be used in either mode.

THE SAVE COMMAND

You can use the SAVE command to store your program on disk
or tape.
SAVEing on a Disk
If you have a Commodore single disk drive, you can store your
program on disk by typing:
SAVE " PROGRAM NAME",
The 8 indicates to the computer that you are using a disk drive to
