Atari XL User Manual

CHAPTER 16
PERMANENT STORAGE
The XL is able to store programs on cassette tapes
or floppy disks, and to LOAD and RUN programs
from tape, disk or plug-in cartridge. Tapes and
disks may also be used to store data for future use.
PROGRAMS ON TAPE
There are three BASIC commands you can use to
load programs from the cassette uni t in to the XL,
and there are three corresponding commands to
allow you to save programs.
eSA VE and eLOAD
To save a program using eSA VE, type:
CSAVE and press RETURN
The TV speaker will (beep' twice, reminding you to
position the tape and press the RECORD and
PLAY buttons on the cassette unit. Pressing
RETURN a second time will save the program on
the tape. At the end of the process (which you can
monitor by turning up the volume on the TV) the
tape will stop and the READY prompt will be
displayed. Your program, and any variables it
created when RUN, will be saved on the tape.
To load a e SA VEd program back in to the XL,
