16 characters long. Be sure to enclose the program name ln
quotes. You cannot put two programs with the same name on the
same disk. If you do, the second program will not be accepted;
the disk will retain the first one. ln the second example, the 8
indicates that you are saving your program on device number 8.
You do not need the 8 with DSAVE, because the computer
automatically assumes you are using device number 8.

SAVEing on Cassette

If you are using a Datassette to store your program, insert a blank
tape in the recorder, rewind the tape if necessary, and type:
SAVE " PROGRAM NAME"
You must type the word SAVE, followed by the program name.
The program name can be any name you choose up to 16
characters.
NOTE: The 40 column screen will go blank while the
program is being SAVEd, but returns to normal when the
process is completed.
Unlike disk, you can save two programs to tape under the same
name. However when you load it back into the computer, the first
program sequentially on the tape will be loaded, so avoid giving
programs the same name.
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"
LOAD" PROGRAM NAME" ,8
prTIIDM
3-29
