If there were no way to save the program in the Editor buffer, you would have to retype it every time you wanted to use it. The Editor allows you both to read and to write files to any peripheral storage device (Disk Drive, Cassette, etc.) to save you all this trouble. To save a program in the Editor buffer, you must first put the cursor into the window which contains the file you want saved (if you are using only one window, you about this). Then you enter the command needn’t worry <CTRL><SHIFT>W In the message area you will see: Write? Simply type in the file name you want the program saved to, and press <RETURN>. The file name must be compatible with the DOS you are using. If you are not using a DOS, the file will consist only of a character representing the device (C for cassette, P for printer, etc.) followed by a colon. Reading a file into the Editor buffer is just as easy. Move the cursor to the line preceding the line where you want the file you're reading in to start, and enter the command <CTRL><SHIFT>R In the message area you will see: Read? Type in the name of the file you want read in, following the conventions outlined above. If you are using floppy disks, you can read the directory on a given disk by replying with the following to the "Read?" prompt in the message area: Read? ?1:*.*
