in fack on a disk it is actually 5 bytes, some groups made use of this diskname suffix, like... "-(B)-"

basically copy-paste without a mouse.

if you move (with arrow keys) away from the line you are typing, then you are moving a second cursor, and you can move it somewhere and hold down the COPY key, which will copy that part you moved over.

"no idea". Well you can take a quick look if it was tourvoriginal disk or some copy (filecopy only, ofcourse)

there's a really nice BBC BASIC editing feature, i haven't seen it on other machines (actually i think the Amstrad CPC had sth similar? but i can't remember) --

and the c64 cursors... sigh... well it is +2:more keys off the matrix really, 8x8 = 64 keys only

mirrorbird (21:59:46)
so what is the purpose of that "disk type ID" byte?

Agemixer (21:58:40)
yeah hehe some old c64 games assume that too instead of just.... joystick

the classic keys used to move left,right,up,down in a BBC game are: Z X * ? you can imagine the fun

mirrorbird (21:56:54)
the BBC emulator is horrible to type in -- the Beeb has a rather strange keyboard, and the PC keyboard is mapped by *position* of the keys. so you want to type something like = and you can't find it
