USING THE DIVMMC FUTURE FROM BASIC
BASIC COMMANDS
Within BASIC, a number of commands are available as an alternative to using the main menu.
.ls
– show directory listing
.cd dirname
– change directory into ‘dirname’
.mkdir dirname
– create a new directory called ‘dirname’
.tapein file.tap
– set the tape input to load from ‘file.tap’
.tapeout file.tap
– set the tape output to write to file ‘file.tap’
.cp source newfile
– copy file ‘source’ to ‘newfile’
.mv oldname newname
– rename a file form ‘oldname’ to ‘newname’
.more file
– displays a text file
SAVING FILES
If you want to save a BASIC file, first navigate to the folder you want to save in (either use the menu or
.cd
command). Return to BASIC and type the following:
.tapeout filename.tap
This will set filename.tap as the output file. Then save as normal
SAVE “myprog”
Your program will then be written out to the filename.tap file. If you want to change files or load back, you
should use the following command the close the file.
.tapeout –c filename.tap
To load you program back in, select ‘filename.tap’ from the menu.
If you already have a .tap file created, you can just scroll to the file and press ‘O’ to set it as the output file, and
then return to BASIC to save the file as before.
