8.2: FILES

- A file is simply an area on a particular storage device which contains data or text. The only storage devices which are used on the MC machine are disks and tapes. Files on the disks are figuratively grouped into "directories". A directory is just a list of all the files stored under a given user name. Do DESCRIBE(FILEOP); for details of how you may inspect your files using MACSYMA. Other commands which deal with files are: SAVE, FASSAVE, STORE, LOAD, LOADFILE, RESTORE, UNSTORE, STRINGOUT, BATCH, BATCON, DEMO, WRITEFILE, CLOSEFILE, DELFILE, REMFILE, and APPENDFILE.
