The load process is identical for all data to be loaded. A process begins with the
request for the data ID using the escape sequence ESC I D. This indicates
whether modules are loaded and which version is available.
If the relevant module has not been loaded or if the versions do not match, the
appropriate pre-command will be transferred in the second step.
Then the appropriate module can be transferred.
After the completion of the load process the complete file ID is transferred as an
acknowledgment. This indicates whether the new module has been transferred
correctly.
Module Identification
Every loadable data file can be identified by an ID. The file ID has the following
structure:
