An Alternate Method

(of Transferring a Source Listing)

Another way of transferring a program's source listing into the PLAYPEN project in SiMPLE (and then running the program) is as follows:

  1. Copy the source listing into the Windows Clipboard,
  2. Paste the Clipboard's contents into a new NOTEPAD document,
  3. Save the document directly into the PLAYPEN folder in SiMPLE,
  4. Start up SiMPLE, and Issue a "RUN" command.

Let us now go through each of these four steps to see exactly how to do them. (In this discussion, we will assume that the program is to be named "EXAMPLE".)

A. How to copy the source listing into the Clipboard:

  1. Right-click anywhere on the source listing, and then choose "Select All".

  2. Right-click again, and select "Copy".

B. How to paste the Clipboard's contents into a new
    NOTEPAD document:

  1. Run the NOTEPAD program (in the Windows "Accessories" folder)

  2. Click on the word "Edit" in the menu bar of the NOTEPAD window,
    and then select "Paste".

C. How to save the document directly into the PLAYPEN
   folder in SiMPLE:

  1. Click on the word "File" in the menu bar of the NOTEPAD window,
    and then select "Save As..."

  2. Specify "EXAMPLE.TXT" as the File name, and Save in the "PLAYPEN"
    folder in SiMPLE. (If you installed SiMPLE on your "C:" drive, the path
    to the "PLAYPEN" folder is: C:\SiMPLE\PROJECT\DOS\PLAYPEN)

D. How to start up SiMPLE, and Issue a "RUN" command:

  1. Double-click the SiMPLE icon on your desktop.

  2. Type the command:
        run example
    and press the "Enter" key.

(And if you will no longer be using NOTEPAD as the text editor for SiMPLE's "OPEN" command, you should probably reset to the default text editor by typing: 

                 editor dos
the first chance you get.)
