Info

STARTING TO USE THE TOOLKIT Toolkit is a Rom for the BBC containing a set of machine code utilities enhancing the basic language. All commands must start with an asterisk ' *' in order so as to be passed to the paged Roms installed in your BBC. All commands sent to the Toolkit Rom can be in 'UPPER' or 'lower' case—for example: *STATUS or *status Furthermore, commands can be abbreviated in the usual way by entering the first few letters—for example: *ST. The only problem with abbreviating commands is they can clash with other Roms. In the event of two Roms clashing you can prefix Toolkit with a lower case s. TOOLKIT COMMANDS This chapter lists all the different commands in alphabetical order with a description of each. Most of the commands in Toolkit can be used in direct or indirect mode, but it is possible to have unusual effects—for example, a program performing EXCHANGE while running will wipe out all the variables. 14
