16 The Auto-run feature allows BASIC09 to get the name of a file to load and
|
|
|
17 run from the same command line used to call BASIC09. The file loaded and run
|
|
|
18 can be either a SAVED file (in the data directory), or a PACKED file (in the
|
|
|
19 execution directory). The file may contain several procedures; the one
|
|
|
20 executed is the one with the same name as the file. Parameters may be
|
|
|
21 passed following the pathname specified.

24 Once one or more BASIC09 procedures are debugged to the programmer's
|
|
|
25 satisfaction, they can be "packed" or converted permanently to
|
|
|
26 bytecode form. Comments and names of local variables are discarded during
|
|
|
27 packing, so that in BASIC09,
|
|
|
28 comments and intelligible variable names are not considered
|
|
|
29 a burden to be avoided in the name of efficiency.
