Rain Systems thanks you for acquiring our latest Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer.

Please take note of the following documentation addendum.

The [help], [syshelp] and other command may specify parameters starting with the number sign '#'. Those parameter are expected to be a single or several decimal character.

For example the documentation for storing a range of memory onto magnetic tape (often refer as a 'saving a file') reads:

save #start #end name

And should be use in the following way to save the memory from address 0 (included) to address 10 (not included) into a file name 'douglas':

save 0 10 douglas

The [write] command text parameter writes characters into memory as ascii values. Using:

write 5 0

writes the value 48 at address 5 since 48 is the value for ascii character '0'.

The [execute] command uses a value of 0 as end of line separator. This is the value zero, no the ascii character '0'.

The [blank] command sets the given memory range to 0.

Until the system is properly configured and the correct drivers are loaded, the magnetic tape system only allows to store 16 files and limits file names to 8 characters.
