The relocate flag is a number (0 or 1) that determines where a
program is loaded in memory. A relocate flag of 0 tells the
Commodore 128 to load the program at the start of the BASIC
program area. A flag of 1 tells the computer to LOAD from the
point where it was SAVEd. The default value of the relocate flag is
0. The relocate parameter of 1 is generally used when loading
machine language programs.
The device most commonly used with the LOAD command is the
disk drive. This is device number 8, though the DLOAD command
is more convenient to use when working with disk.
If LOAD is typed with no arguments, followed by RETURN, the
C128 assumes you are loading from tape and you are prompted
to " PRESS PLAY ON TAPE" . When you press PLAY, the
Commodore 128 starts looking for a program on tape. When the
program is found, the Commodore 128 prints FOUND"filename" ,
where the filename is the name of the first file which the
datassette finds on the tape. Press the Commodore key to LOAD
the found filename, or press the spacebar to keep searching on
the tape. Once the program is LOADed, it can be RUN, LISTed or
modified.
NOTE: Pressing the spacebar does not cause the next file to be
searched for in C64 mode.
EXAMPLES:
LOAD
Reads in the next program from tape.
LOAD " HELLO"
Searches tape for a program called HELLO, and LOADs it if
found.
LOAD A$,8
LOADs the program from disk whose name is stored in the
variable A$. (This is equivalent to DLOAD(A$).
