Prints out the definition of the procedure named word.

PO "CARRE

Prints out the titles (TO line) of all procedures.

POTS

Prints out all names and their things, as MAKE statements.

PONS

Prints out all procedures (full definitions) then all names.

POALL

Erases the procedure named word.

ERASE "CARRE

Erases the name (variable) word.

ERNAME "AGE

Erases the whole workspace: all procedures and all names.

ERALL

Outputs the number of free memory cells.

PRINT NODES
  -> 60000

Reclaims unused memory (no effect: Go manages memory).

RECYCLE

Saves to file word the procedures and variables given by list (bare names = procedures, "name = variables, :name = list of names; CONTENTS = everything).

SAVE "DESSIN CONTENTS

Re-reads file word and DEFINES its contents directly IN THE WORKSPACE: its procedures and variables become usable at once (each procedure prints "X DEFINED"). Nothing else to do. --- Difference with EDLOAD: LOAD defines right away (to USE a program), whereas EDLOAD only puts the file in the editor without running it (to REWORK it).

LOAD "DESSIN

Loads file word INTO THE EDITOR, WITHOUT running it: its text becomes the editor content (ED with no argument reopens it). You must open ED then validate with Ctrl+S to run it. --- Difference with LOAD: EDLOAD is to READ or EDIT a program before validating it, whereas LOAD defines its contents directly in the workspace (usable right away).

EDLOAD "DESSIN

Saves the current editor content to file word.

EDSAVE "DESSIN

Lists the files in the working directory (name and size).

CATALOG

Permanently deletes file word. Refuses to delete an open file.

ERASEFILE "DESSIN

Lists the example files (name and size), like CATALOG but in the examples directory shipped with GoLogo. Error if there is no examples directory.

CATALOGEX

Like LOAD, but reads the file from the examples directory: re-reads it and DEFINES its contents in the workspace (usable at once). Error if the examples directory or the file is missing or unreadable.

LOADEX "DESSIN

Like EDLOAD, but reads the file from the examples directory: puts its text in the editor WITHOUT running it (EDIT reopens it, validate with Ctrl+S). Error if the examples directory or the file is missing or unreadable.

EDLOADEX "DESSIN

Saves the drawing (graphics field) to word.PNG, in the working folder (like SAVE). Asks for confirmation if the file exists.

SAVEPNG "DESSIN

"Prints" the screen: saves a numbered PNG screenshot (PAGE_1.PNG, PAGE_2.PNG...) in the PRINTER subfolder of the work directory.

COPIE

Formatted a floppy disk (period hardware). No effect here.

FORMAT 0

Returned the current disk drive. Not applicable here (outputs 1).

PRINT DRIVE
  -> 1

Selected the disk drive. No effect here.

SETDRIVE 0

Opens the file for reading (position at the start). Error if the file is missing or already open. From FMSLogo.

OPENREAD "DESSIN.GLG CLOSE "DESSIN.GLG

Opens the file for writing, overwriting any existing content WITHOUT asking (FMSLogo fidelity). Creates it if absent. From FMSLogo.

OPENWRITE "SORTIE.TXT CLOSE "SORTIE.TXT

Opens the file for writing, position at the end (append). Creates it if absent. From FMSLogo.

OPENAPPEND "JOURNAL.TXT CLOSE "JOURNAL.TXT

Opens the file for reading AND writing (a single, shared position). Creates it if absent. From FMSLogo.

OPENUPDATE "DESSIN.GLG CLOSE "DESSIN.GLG

Closes the file. If it was the current read/write stream, we revert to keyboard/console. Error if the file is not open. From FMSLogo.

OPENREAD "DESSIN.GLG CLOSE "DESSIN.GLG

Closes all open files. From FMSLogo.

OPENREAD "DESSIN.GLG CLOSEALL

Outputs the list of names of currently open files. From FMSLogo.

SHOW ALLOPEN
  -> []

Sets the current read stream: READCHAR/READWORD/READLIST/READRAWLINE will read from this file. An empty list [ ] reverts to the keyboard. Error if the file is not open for reading. From FMSLogo.

OPENREAD "DESSIN.GLG SETREAD "DESSIN.GLG SETREAD [ ] CLOSE "DESSIN.GLG

Sets the current write stream: PRINT/SHOW/TYPE will write to this file. An empty list [ ] reverts to the console. Error if the file is not open for writing. From FMSLogo.

OPENWRITE "SORTIE.TXT SETWRITE "SORTIE.TXT SETWRITE [ ] CLOSE "SORTIE.TXT

Outputs the name of the current read stream, or [ ] if it is the keyboard. From FMSLogo.

SHOW READER
  -> []

Outputs the name of the current write stream, or [ ] if it is the console. From FMSLogo.

SHOW WRITER
  -> []

Outputs TRUE if there is nothing left to read in the current read stream. On the keyboard, always FALSE. From FMSLogo.

PRINT EOF?
  -> FAUX

Outputs the current read byte position, or -1 if the stream is the keyboard. From FMSLogo.

PRINT READPOS
  -> -1

Outputs the current write byte position, or -1 if the stream is the console. From FMSLogo.

PRINT WRITEPOS
  -> -1

Moves the current read pointer to byte position (0-based). Error if the position is out of file or in the middle of a character. From FMSLogo.

OPENREAD "DESSIN.GLG SETREAD "DESSIN.GLG SETREADPOS 0 CLOSE "DESSIN.GLG

Moves the current write pointer to byte position (0-based). From FMSLogo.

OPENWRITE "SORTIE.TXT SETWRITE "SORTIE.TXT SETWRITEPOS 0 CLOSE "SORTIE.TXT

Reads a raw line from the current read stream and outputs it as a single word (no interpretation). This is THE receiver to walk a file line by line. [ ] at end of file. From FMSLogo.

OPENREAD "DESSIN.GLG SETREAD "DESSIN.GLG PRINT READRAWLINE SETREAD [ ] CLOSE "DESSIN.GLG

Reads n characters from the current read stream and outputs them as a word. [ ] at end of file. From FMSLogo.

OPENREAD "DESSIN.GLG SETREAD "DESSIN.GLG PRINT READCHARS 4 SETREAD [ ] CLOSE "DESSIN.GLG

Loads a whole text file at once and outputs an array whose cells are its lines (first line in cell 1). COUNT gives the number of lines, for easy iteration. Opens, reads and closes the file on its own. Refuses a binary file (BINARY FILE). gologo extension.

SHOW FILETOARRAY "DESSIN.GLG
MAKE "L FILETOARRAY "DESSIN.GLG PRINT COUNT :L

Sets the line ending written to files: "LF (default, Unix-style) or "CRLF (Windows-style). Reading always accepts both. gologo extension.

SETEOL "CRLF

Outputs the current line-ending setting: "LF or "CRLF. gologo extension.
