Newbie needs help listing program in memory.

Hello folks,

This is a newbie question from someone who has a BS 2sx but hasn't used it for years.

I've got it hooked up to the Activity Board. It's running a program that was loaded last time I used it (years ago!).

I want to save it before erasing it with a new program. I can't for the life of me find the command to display the program that's currently in memory.

Do I use the 'debug screen' or the program screen...help!

Can anyone give me the command. In BASIC it's LIST.

I'm embarrassed to say that I can't find anything in the book.

thanks

    erco's comment is sweet, but it doesn't explain much.· What happens is that your Stamp Basic program is translated by the Stamp Editor into a sequence of interpretive codes that are packed into a file that you can save to·your disk if you want to, but all of the labels and variable names along with most of the information about what statement you've actually used is lost.· This compiled code is what is downloaded to the Stamp.· Even if you could read the stored program (which is difficult), it wouldn't tell you much.· You are indeed stuck.· Sorry.
