$00A6 |
Control code address table. Contains the
address to jump to after the "PRINT CHR$"-statement or
a key with the CTRL-key down, as
explained here ( The "NOACT" shown there means it
will effect in an immediate return ). |
$00A7 -
$00D9 |
Concatination flag of Basic lines 0 ( $00A6 ) - 50 ( $00D9 ).
Used for identification of logical lines which logically represent
a Basic line listed on the screen. A Basic line can have up to 255
characters and by this it can exceed the length of a physical line
which has only the length of a 40-character screen line. Basic uses
this area to remember which lines are logically one Basic line.
The contents of this area is important e.g. while editing a Basic
line.
Example: If $00A7 contains $00 00 01 01 00 ... then physical lines
2 and 3 belong logically to the physical line 1. Note, line 1 is
addressed by $00A8 and note, line 0 has only one logical line (
no concatination ). A "$01" flag indicates it is a logical
line to the previous line containing $00 ( or $01 if more than 2
lines are logically one Basic line; as shown in the example ).
$00A7 - $00BF relates to the visible area and $00C0 - $00D8 to the
unvisible area which is shown if scrolling is performed by using
the SHIFT / Cursor UP/DOWN keys. $00D9 is used during a scroll operation
as a workarea. |

is used by several routines as workarea, e.g. tape header, preparation
of the USING-format, keyboard input buffer.

to prevent loss of data during RESET and returning to Basic. In
this case the monitor uses this area. |

is where BASIC jumps to after loading, where the intial screen
message is displayed and subsequently gets wiped out as RAM is cleared
p to $FF00. If you don't want everything cleared then this is the
place to make alterations. Cold start Basic used only once at startup. |

is completely empty and this seems a likely place for any additions
you might like to make. If you use a tolkit this is the most favoured
spot for it, so dump this out before making changes. |
| $30A9 |
sees the start of the second keyword table up to the start of
keyword addresses. If you are using a toolkit or a peripheral device
which needs extra code placed somewhere, check on this area before
adding any extra routines. |

$3147 -
$3206 |
is the keyword address table for tokens $80 - $DF |
$3207 -

is the keyword address table for tokens prefixed by $FE |
$3265 -
$3304 |
keyword table for 2 bytes tokens prefixed by $FF ( functions ) |
| $3807 |
is the address of GOTO. In most versions of Basic GOTO or GOSUB
start their searches for a line number from the top of the program,
which on a long listing or a frequently used subroutine can slow
down the running, the 700 BASIC doesn't.
When a Basic line is entered with either of these statements the
token keyword, $80 for GOTO or $81 for GOSUB, is followed by $0B
and the line number. When the program has been run once the byte
which follows the tokens gets changed to $0C, and the bytes containing
the line number get altered to the absolute address in memory where
the GOTO line is stored, so cutting down the time taken searching
for program lines. Naturally each time a line is added or edited
these byte get changed back to $0B followed by line number, as their
absolute addresses might then be different.
