return to basic from monitor program

Post by centrespot »

Hi

I cannot find a way of returning to the BASIC program language after entering the MONITOR program (using MON when in BASIC), is there a way of getting back without having to switch off and reload the tape.

Thanks in advance

Hello

I don't know the "MON" command: for which computer and which version of basic?

On MZ-700, under S-BASIC 1Z-013B, with the "BYE" command we return with the "R" command.
If we go under monitor 1Z-013A with the RESET button (for example) we can return to basic by pressing CTRL and the RESET key (back).

The only MZ computer I know with a 'MON' command in BASIC is the MZ-80A running its SA-5510. You type in 'MON' and it returns to the Monitor. Then you must use the jump command in Monitor to get back into BASIC, so the command J1200 from the Monitor command line will do it.
