Naming files
To create a new folder that can be used to hold files of data, a suitable disc should be ready in
the appropriate drive.
MKDIR
instruction: create a folder
Mkdir filename$
This makes a new folder on the current disc, and gives it the filename of your choice. For example:
X> Mkdir "Df0:MARATHONMAN" Dir
RENAME
instruction: rename a file
Rename oldname$ To newname$
This command is used to change the name of an existing file. If your choice of new filename is already in use by another file, the appropriate error message will be given.
X> Rename "Ancient" To "Modern"
Running programs from disc
RUN
instruction: execute an AMOS Professional program
Run
Run file$
As well as the [Run] or [F1] facility for executing programs from the Edit Screen, the RUN command may be used on its own from Direct Mode.
When followed by a filename and used inside a program, the RUN command is extremely useful. Authors of vast computer games, involving many levels of play, need not be restricted by the storage space of a single disc or the memory available in your Amiga. Each level of play can be written as a separate program and then saved as a different filename. This means that at the end of one level of play, the next stage can be loaded from disc automatically.
