- Depends!
-
- BASIC C=64 programs would work by typing RUN
-
- But, often the C=64 loads programs into direct areas of memory; BUT THIS WILL
- ONLY WORK IF YOU TYPE
-
- LOAD"filename",8,1
-
- the ,8,1 tells it to load it where the program wants to be!
-
- now, typing RUN should work fine.
-
- It is almost always best to type ,8,1 at the end...

- Have fun
