ALWAYS BACK UP FILES.

200 181 []+S and []+K operation should be avoided as these put files into
RAM.- ( see above for possible consequences, at least on versions
2.2 and 3.0 - OZ4 is supposed to cure this bug.
Use these alternatives to []+S and []+K - For screen output to file
S.sgn in the current RAM type the following into Pipedream, save as
SSGN.CLI, plain text :-
.T>S.sgn
.S

- and save as KSGN.CLI, plain text. /different
NOTE - []-S and []-K are not used - press <> and ESC instead.

You may have changed this to No. In either case, before you save
the PrintEd at any time you should confirm it by taking the cursor

believed that without doing this a bug in the OZ (of 2.2 and 3.0
versions at least) will cause a FAIL at some later time.
- - Pressing <> and the spacebar produces a Hard Space but some printers
don't print a space for the code 160. To correct this go to the
translation slots on page 2 of the PrinterEd. Against the
`Character' entry put 160 and for `Changes to' put 32
158 209 Omitted is the following -
In BASIC, to find the line(s) containing certain characters you can
type LIST IF followed by the search string, press ENTER and hold
down the spacebar to see all relevant lines listed.
