Using the

Commands

Several of these commands require that you enter filenames. To indicate
the segment where the file is located, precede the filename with either a
segment number or name followed by a colon. For example, 1:uap.prg
refers to the file named UAP.PRG that is located in segment 1. If you do
not specify a segment name or number, the access point searches the
segments in the following order until it finds a file that matches the file
name RAM, 1, 2, 3, 4.

FB

Purpose:

Makes an inactive segment the active

segment.

Syntax:

FB bootsegment datasegment

where:

bootsegment is the name or number of the boot segment to be
activated.

datasegment is the name or number of the data segment to be
activated.

Example:

To make segment 2 the active boot segment and segment 4 the
active data segment, enter:

FB 2 4

You can use an asterisk instead of a segment name if you want to
leave that segment unchanged. For example, to leave the active
boot segment unchanged and make segment 4 the active data
segment, you could enter:

FB * 4
