Step 1: ENTER THE PASCAL OPERATING SYSTEM
There are several ways to do this, depending on your
system. You may simply have to turn on your computer or press
the RESET key (CTRL—RESET on some machines). If you are run-
ning a PASCAL program, simply exit from it. If you are using
another operating system, you may have to execute a program
which loads PASCAL. Your dealer can help you determine which
method to use.
When you enter the PASCAL system you will see the system
command prompt~
Command: E(dit, R(un, F(ile, C(omp,
L(ink, X(ecute, A(ssem, D(ebug, ?
(If you see only half of this prompt line, press CTRL—A to
switch from one half to the other.)
Step 2: SET SWAPPING’ OPTION (APPLE II and IIe ONLY)
Once the command prompt is displayed, turn on PASCAL’s
"swapping” option if you have an Apple II or IIe. Type S and
PASCAL will tell you whether swapping is on or off and ask you
whether you want to “toggle” (change) it. Assuming it’s cur-
rently off, type Y (for YES) PASCAL will activate swapping
mode and display the command prompt again. (If swapping is
currently on —— as it would be if you had already run Think—
Tank in the current PASCAL session —— type N for NO instead of
Y.)
Step 3: EXECUTE THINKTANK
When PASCAL displays the command prompt again, press X
(for execute). The computer will respond:
EXECUTE WHAT FILE?
Enter the program name TANK, preceded by its volume or device
number. Suppose you have installed the program on Drive I
(PASCAL device #4) in a volume called TANK:. Then you could
enter either of the following:
—22—
