Download
This option allows the user to download application programs (*.SHX), BASIC run-time
(bas.ops.shx), BASIC programs (*.SYN) or font files to the terminal. There are 6 resident
locations and one Active Memory. A maximum of 7 programs can be downloaded to the

downloading, input a name for the program desired or just press the enter key to keep its
current name if one is applicable. This will enable the user to download the program. The
application file’s type, name, and size will be shown on the list of programs when entering the
Download or Activate menu of the Program Manager. The file type is a small letter that
follows the program number (01~06), it can be either ‘b’, ‘c’ or ‘f’ which represents BASIC
program, C program or font file respectively. The program name is up to 12 characters and
the program size is in units of K bytes.
