- Libraries are one solution, however you could also use the directory

- U1

- etc

- U5

- MAIN
- ---------------------

- U stands for Utility, and you can put the low level stuff in 1 and the higher
- level stuff up to as many directories as you want (I've got 5). e.g. U1
- contains some sysevals, U2 some time functions (Accu.clock), U5 has the PIE
- plotting stuff etc etc etc. Once started you just treat MAIN as if it were HOME.
- If you put the program << HOME U1 U2 U3 U4 U5 >> in HOME called 'M',
- Then you can get to MAIN really easily. In fact UP, HOME, and MAIN are all
- shifted forms of the ' key. Using this it means that only things that really
- need to be in HOME are there.

- : 3. What does "HALT" in the status line mean?
- :
- You have a HALTed program, press CONT to continue or KILL to remove.
