or is
recorded as the default <offset> value. Thus, if you use WHERE (without an ar-
gument) instead of EDIT to invoke the editor, the cursor will be moved to the
spot you left previously instead of to the beginning of the text. In addition,
when the compiler reports an error, it also records the offset address of the
error as the default WHERE argument. In this case, WHERE without an argument
will invoke the editor and move the cursor to the spot in error.
%DCOMPAS ON-LINE HELP: The DIR command.
The DIR command is used to display the directory of a disk. The command line
format is:
DIR <afn>
where <afn> is an ambiguous file name as the one used in a CP/M DIR command,
i.e. question marks (?) and asterisks (*) may be interspersed through the file
name and type fields.
A question mark will match any character in that position, and an asterisk will
match any combination of characters within the field in which it is used. If
both the name field and the type field are omitted, lea: rrrrrr bytes (aaaa paragraphs)
The number is parentheses is the paragraph size (in hex) of free memory. One
paragraph corresponds to 16 bytes.
%ZCOMPAS ON-LINE HELP: The ZAP command.
The ZAP command erases the text in memory and sets the current file name to
'WORK.PAS'. As a safety precaution, ZAP asks 'Are you sure (Y/N)?'. Any answer
but 'Y' or 'y' will leave the text unchanged.
%QCOMPAS ON-LINE HELP: The QUIT command.
The QUIT command transfers control to CP/M. You may later warm-start COMPAS
by entering 'COMPAS *'. This of course requires that no vital memory areas
have been overwritten by other programs run it the meantime.
