===To Save and Load Data===
From time to time you may wish to save a pattern or picture to see again later. You may just want to save a design to show a friend, or you may want to come back to a design and do additional work at another time. The SAVE/LOAD feature of your computer allows you to save (record) patterns or pictures on a cassette tape and then load (read) them back into the computer. Let's see exactly how to do this.
====To Save a Picture:====
It's rather simple to save (record) a picture on a cassette tape. Just follow these instructions:
: 1. Connect a cassette recorder to your computer following the directions on pages 15-16 of the User's Reference Guide. Connect your cassette recorder to the plug end labelled 1 for CSl.
: 2. When you have a design on the screen that you want to SAVE, press the '''TAPE''' key.
: 3. When you press the TAPE key, the computer stores your design temporarily and shows you the following screen:

: 4. Press s for SAVE.
: 5. Instructions for recording begin to scroll upward on the screen. Follow these instructions (see page 16-18 of the User's Reference Guide for a complete explanation of the instruction screens).
: 6. After your design has been saved on the cassette tape, you again see your design on the screen.
(When you remove the tape from the recorder, be sure to label your tape with the date and a name so you can identify it at a later time. If for any reason you did not begin recording at the beginning of the cassette tape, note the point where you began.)
Your design is now on tape. You can continue working in any activity of VIDEO-GRAPHS as usual.
