2.3 BASIC Run-time Engine
The BASIC Run-time Engines work as interpreters of the BASIC commands. Terminals
have to be loaded with the BASIC Run-time Engines to run the BASIC programs. Each
model of terminal has its own Run-time Engine to drive its specific hardware features. The
Run-time Engines are named as "BCxxx.shx", where "BCxxx" is the model number of the
target terminal.
The BASIC Run-time also provides the capabilities for the user to configure the terminal.
With the Run-time Engine loaded, the terminal can be set to the "System Mode". In the
"System Mode", the user can set up the system settings such as the system clock and update
the user program and so on. To enter the "System Mode", just press 7, 9 and POWER keys
simultaneously. The System Menu presented in the "System Mode" varies for different
models of terminals. For detailed functions of the System Menu, please refer to the user
manual of the terminal.
2.4 Development Flow
Developing a BASIC program for terminals is as simple as counting 1-2-3. There are three
steps:
