To Receive a BASIC Program
Suppose you are communicating with the host program and it is ready to send
you an ASCII-format BASIC program. Before telling the host to go ahead, first
go to the menu and type as follows:
---- ENTE R I1ENU SELE CT I ON
(ENTER)
If the buffer is now closed, repeat the R command and TERMINAL will display
the message:
RAM BUFFER NOW OPEN
RESET RAM BUFFER (YIN)
(ENTER)
This opens and clears the buffer. Now go back to the interactive terminal
mode (T option) and tell the host to send the program.
After the entire program has been received, press
(BREAK)
to return to the
menu; then type:
-'- ENTER MENU t)EL...ECT I ON
(ENTER)
ENTER FILESPEC (1-34)
NtlWBRID<El
(ENTER)
This will copy the BASIC program in
RAM
into a disk file (we named this one
NEWPROG).
To try out the program, exit TERMINAL and go into BASIC. Then type:
R<2
a
d"'"
(ENTER)
After the program has loaded, you should examine it to see if it needs
modification to run under Model
II
BASIC. Pay particular attention to BASIC
statements and functions involving input/output:
• Keyboard
• Video Display
• Line Printer
• Disk Files
