    In this section we will talk about
all sorts of system programs - music and
graphic editors, programming languages,
disk utilities, etc.

    And now we bring you a full description
One of the best to date

                    Version 3.0

            Command mode



    After loading the assembly, pressing any
key, you enter the command mode, where
can use the following command:



    Each team is selected by pressing the keys
corresponding to the selected letter.

Main name: Specify the file name to compile, if not specified, 
- compile the work file. 

Work name: Loading a new work-file.
May also receive a warning:
"Work file not saved. (Save Y / N)?"

Edit: The entrance to the editor. If no file name
defined previously, then asks
"Work name:", and if the file does not prove
on the disk, it creates a new file.

Save: Save work-file to disk. Team
removes the previous version of the file, if their names
coincide.

Assemble: Compiling main-file. If the names
main-file work-file are different, then the work-file
written to disk, main-file is loaded,
compiled and written, and re-loaded
work-file. When the name of the main-file is not defined,
is simply a compilation of work-file. When
compile the program messages may appear
error, c output erroneous line. This
line is convenient to look at the text, using the command
Editor: Search (EXTEND + S).

New name: Change the name of work-file.

merGe file: Podgruzka file at the end of workfayla.

Object save: Burn to disc object
file.

Catalog: Catalog drive.

load Font: Load a set of characters.

sYmbol list: Listing table tags
compiled program to a printer or
screen.

Print text: Printing a text file on
printer.

Run: Run the compiled program. If
work-file has been modified since the last time it
write to the disk, a warning:
"Work file not saved. (Save Y / N)?"

Quit: Exit the assembler in BASIC. If
work-file has been modified since the last time it
write to the disk, a warning:
"Work file not saved. (Save Y / N)?".


    Return to the assembler of BASIC:

        RANDOMIZE USR 23600



            Editor


True video - page back
Inv. video - Page forward
Delete - delete the character to the left of the cursor.
Graph - delete character under the cursor
Caps lock - insert a space
Cursor - cursor movement



Extend + S - search string String.
Sym.Shift / I - searches for the next appearance in

                text String.
Extend + X - search and replace. In finding

                Text will be prompted:

                "REPLACE (Y / N / G /)?"


                Y - replaced by the text entered

                    on request "REPLACE TO:".

                N - not replace it.

                G - to replace all of the following without

                    confirmation.

Extend + B - in the beginning of the text
Extend + E - to end of text
Sym.Shift / Q - delete line
Sym.Shift / W - insert a row

Sym.Shift / E - copy a string into the buffer.
Extend + R - insert the contents of the buffer in

                text.
Extend + C - clear the buffer.
Extend + Q - a return to command mode.



           Assembler



    The text in the editor can be located as
everything - field absent. Requires only
to maintain consistency:
[Label] [command] [;] [comment]
The length of the line - up to 80 characters.
Label Size - 14 characters.
 Sample lines:


               ORG # 7530

               DI
LOOP_METKA INC A

               OUT (# FE), A; comment

               JP LOOP_METKA; comment


    Throughout the program, you can use
arithmetic operations: (+,-,*,/)


       LD A, 57 * 8

 or:


       LD DE, TEXT; beginning of the text

       LD BC, TEXT-END; number of characters

       CALL # 203C; call print

       RET

TEXT DEFM "Hello world!"
END


    Not supported actions: (%,!,?,',)


    Supported the directive:

ORG <expression> - Assign the value of the expression

                     address counter.
