save frequently used (Un)load/Plot operator responses into com-

3.2 COMMAND
FILES
Once the format of the (un)load or print/plot output has been decided, the
operator commands (entered into the keyboard in response to the questions
listed below) may be saved in a RAM file or on cassette.
This feature saves the operator entering
all
the responses every time a plot
or unload is performed. Instead, the operator simply enters in the command
file name and the (un)load or print/plot proceeds automatically using the
pre-saved operator commands from that command file.
Many command files may be created and saved, allowing command files for
a variety of loading, unloading, printing or plotting operations.
3.3 COPY(ING) FILES
The “COPY” program allows data files or command files to be transferred
to/from RAM/cassette or to/from FTU and a host computer. These
files
must be standard BASIC files in ASCII format (lines terminated with a car-
riage return and

than
255
characters in length).
