Subj: BASIC
By the way, I have a very "basic"question about BASIC: how do I enter a program without running it, so I can save it?? I've not used BASIC very much, and the little reference guide that came wtih the computer isn't accurate on this subject. I tried typing in a little program as a TEXT file, then going into BASIC and loading it, but this only brings error messages (DS,TM or MO, depending on how I use the LOAD instruction). The 'program' I'm trying to work with is that little sequence of instructions that's meant to zero out byte 227 of the directory sector. It runs when I type it in directly (though it doesn't "work", i.e. doesn't change that byte), so I know the code is not the problem.
