first procedure.
Procedures can be called from other modules only if you've loaded
the modules with the new LOADM command. Up to four modules
can be held in memory at any one time. Use UNLOADM to remove
a module from memory.
*** Other changes
Data files now have a special format. Records can be a maximum of
1022 bytes long.
The FIND function compares a search string
against entire text fields. To find text anywhere within text fields,
add an asterisk at either end of the string eg "FIND("*JONES*")".
When you use REM at the end of a line you need only precede
it with a space, not a space and a colon. So these two lines are equivalent:
RAISE -37 :REM disk full
RAISE -37 REM disk full
No calculator memories are available to OPL on the MC (although they
are on the Series 3/3a and Workabout.)
The specification of the BEEP command has changed.
Different effects are produced by values below 32, used with "PRINT CHR$()".
See the `Character set and character codes' appendix for more details.
New functions and commands:
*) SCREEN allows you to set the maximum size of the
text window.
*) LOPEN must now be used before LPRINTing, to
specify the destination of the LPRINTs. Use LCLOSE if
you then want to LPRINT to another device. You can also use
LOPEN to print to a file.
*) COMPRESS copies data files, and makes sure that erased
records aren't copied to the destination device.
*) FINDW, DIRW$, COPYW and DELETEW on
Organiser model LZ have been renamed FIND, DIR$, COPY
and DELETE the functions/commands which previously
had these names having been removed.
These functions/commands have been removed from OPL: CLOCK, UDG,
DISP, VIEW, FREE, MENU and MENUN. Also, the Comms Link commands
are not available.
