BASin

File menu

The File menu provides commands relating to the current BASIC program and the associated file on disk.

New

Clears the current program and variables from the editor, and also clears them from the emulated Spectrum's memory. You will be prompted to save any changes you may have made to your program since your last save, but this applies only to the program itself and not any variables that may have been altered.

LOAD ""

Opens a saved program or snapshot file.

Re-LOAD

Opens a recently used program from a list of up to 10 programs, or (if you choose Previous Session) restores the program and emulated Spectrum state from your last BASin session. To restore your session automatically whenever BASin starts, select Restore previous session on the BASin tab.

Save

Saves changes to the program, in the format used to load it. If no format was specified (if the program was created from scratch) then the default .bas format will be used.

Save As

Prompts for a filename and file type, and saves the program to disk - either as a .bas file, or as a snapshot file. The default method is to save as a .bas file, other types of file are specified by the extension of the filename supplied by you. Saving "myprog.sna" will instruct BASin to use the .sna format, for example

Print

Opens the Print Preview window, ready to send the program listing to a printer.

Exit

Quits BASin, prompting to save changes if necessary.
