In Issue 44, Routine Enquiries, Jonathan Loose asked how the BBC screen could be saved to tape. The method explained was cumbersome. The command *SPOOL can be used instead. If the first line of the program has *SPOOL filename and the last has *SPOOL then the program will run but will save the contents of the screen as it does so.

To recover the screen, type *EXEC filename.

Note that this method will only save characters written to the screen between the SPOOL commands - KG
