Title: PRELIMINARIES

Welcome to the CLUB 100, programming in BASIC, online, class.  Actually, it's 
more like a self study course with the added benefit of direct contact with 
BASIC language programming experts.  This class is directed to owners of 
Tandy/Radio Shack Model 100, 102 and 200 computers.  These computer have a 
built-in Microsoft BASIC interpreter/editor making it the easiest to learn 
version of BASIC on any computer in the world.  However, most of the material 
presented in this course is useful to all computer owners and all versions of 
BASIC. 


CAPTURING FILES

You need to know how to capture files you find on this bbs.  You may either 
print them while online, or capture them for printing later.  Model 100, 102 
and 200 owners have the advantage in both cases.

PRINTING CAPTURE (M100/102/200)
 1) Connect your printer and turn it on.
 2) Use your F5 function key to toggle the printer on/off.
 3) Select online files to read.
 4) Files will be printed as they are displayed to your screen.

RAM CAPTURE (M100/102/200)
 1) Tap your F2 function key.
 2) Enter a filename and hit enter.
 3) Select online files to read.

 Examples for capturing files:
 a. One file: P A filename.ext
 b. Several files whos filename starts with BA and ext is .DO: P A BA*.DO
 
 4) Files will be captured as they are displayed to your screen.

There is no on/off toggle.  If you hit F2 again, it will close the open file.  
You will need to open another filename if you close the first.  Reopening the 
first file will overwrite its previous contents.  Also, a file, opened for 
capture, will grow until you run out of memory; at that point in will close 
itself.  Know your memory before coming online.
