Loading From Cassette - Commodore 128 System Manual

Remember, in C128 mode you can use the F2 function key
(which you activate by pressing SHIFT and F1 together) to
display the sequence DLOAD" , or you can type the letters
yourself, ln the second example, 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, followed by the name of the program (also
known as the filename) in quotes:
RUN"MYPROG" nTTIiniI
LOADing from Cassette Tape
To LOAD your program from cassette tape, type:
LOAD " PROGRAM NAME''
If you do not know the name of the program, you can type:
and the next program on the tape will be found. While the
Datassette is searching for the program the 40 column screen is
blank. When the program is found, the screen displays
FOUND PROGRAM NAME
To actually load the program, you then press the Commodore
key, or in 128 mode press the space bar to find the next program
on the tape.
You can use the counter on the Datassette to identify the starting
position of the programs. Then, when you want to retrieve a
program, simply wind the tape forward from 000 to the program's
start location, and type:
LOAD PfETURfcL
In this case you don't have to specify the PROGRAM NAME; your
program will load automatically because it is the next program on
the tape.
