View Ref-FileThis section first describes the storing and recalling of constants with DATA,
READ, and RESTORE. Then file management is dealt with starting with the
indexing commands DIR$(), CHDIR, DIR, FILES, MKDIR, and RMDIR, and explaining
the structure of the hierarchical filing system. Next comes the opening,
closing, renaming etc. of files with EXIST(), KILL, NAME, OPEN, and CLOSE
followed by the facilities for storage of areas of memory with BLOAD, BSAVE,
BGET, and BPUT. Then sequential input and output with INPUT$(), INPUT # and
PRINT # are covered, together with indexed sequential accessing of files (SEEK,
RELSEEK), as well as random accessing (FIELD, GET #, PUT #, SEEK, RELSEEK). The
section on peripheral devices describes byte by byte input and output with
INP(), OUT and their 'query' counterparts INP?() and OUT?(), and input from the
serial and MIDI interfaces (INPAUX$, INPMID$).

Finally, the commands are given for the handling of the mouse and joysticks
(MOUSE, MOUSEX, MOUSEY, MOUSEK, HIDEM, SHOWM, STICK(), STRIG()), and printer
output (LPRINT, LPOS(), HARDCOPY).
