Filename extensions
To configure your filename extensions:
1. Select
Filename extensions
from the Setup and Configuration menu. You
get a list of the filename extensions that are currently recognized by the BASIC
Development Software. You can add (Create) or remove (Delete) extensions
from this list as needed.
Effect on Programming: Upon loading a file, the software searches this list for
the extension of the file being loaded.

2. Press
[Tab]
to move to the next option. Press
[Enter]
to make selection.
3. Highlight the filename extension you wish to edit (BDL in this case) from the
extension setup list and select
Edit<F3>.
You get the
EXTENSION SETUP
dialog box for the BDL extension. There you can see that the Edit mode for
BDL files is text, the Indent style is smart, the Tab spacing is 2, the Right
margin is 78 and Word wrap is off.
Effect on Programming: If, for example, you select a program called
FIRST.BDL to be loaded into an edit window, the software searches the
filename extension list, and finds BDL. It refers to the parameters entered in
the
EXTENSION SETUP
dialog box for BDL as the file is loaded. When you edit
