Addendum Slip

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE USING THE WELCOME CASSETTE

If your machine includes Disc, Econet or Teletext Interface, your attention is drawn to page 400, describing how to change between filing systems.

It will be necessary, before loading the Welcome cassette programs (page 12) to change to the Tape Filing System (contained within the Machine Operating System Rom.).

This is done by typing:

*TAPE RETURN

before the

CHAIN "WELCOME" RETURN

command, and directly after use of BREAK or CTRL BREAK.

In some cases, very long cassette programs may not run because of the small amount of extra memory used by the Disc and Net filing systems. To overcome this, follow the

*TAPE RETURN command by:

PAGE=&E00 RETURN

[see entry under keywords for explanation of PAGE]

If at any time you wish to return to the Disc or Net filing systems, press BREAK or CTRL BREAK, then type:

*DISK RETURN

or

*NET RETURN
