Re-Saving Programs
LIF Examples
DOS Examples
After you have created a program file (with the SAVE command), you can use
RE-SAVE whenever you need to write the program back to the file. This allows
you to edit or update an existing program and then easily replace the program in the
same file. (If the file does not already exist, RE-SAVE behaves like the SAVE
command and creates the file for the program.) The following examples show how
to RE-SAVE the program "TEST" to the various mass storage devices.
