LOADSNAP

Syntax

LOADSNAP filename

LOADSNAP filename.ext

(LOADSNAP)

Explanation

LOADSNAP loads the file filename.PCX from the disk into a bit map. Note that the file still exists on the disk; only a copy of it has been transferred to the workspace.

Drive specifiers (A:, B:, etc.) can be used with LOADSNAP. All colons used in a drive name must be preceded with backslash (\). If a drive is not specified, LOADSNAP loads the file from the currently selected drive.

LOADSNAP can load any PCX format file. LOADSNAP also loads Windows bitmap (.BMP) files.

If LOADSNAP is enclosed in parentheses without inputs or if the file name contains any wildcard characters(*, ?, etc.), a dialog box appears which lets you specify the file to load.
