A Time-saving Tip

I'd like to share a trick I learned from the programmers who did our business software.

Make the first line in your program a REMark statement containing your SAVE command. For example:

10 REM SAVE 6, "INVENTORY", D80

or

1 REM SAVE "INVENTORY", 1.1

Then, whenever you make a change you don't have to remember where and how to save your program. Just LIST the first line, blank out everything before the SAVE command, and execute. It works equally well with tape or. diskette.
