ThinkTank Manual

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 running 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—Ato 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:
