As was briefly mentioned above, BASIC 2 Plus programs may comprise several ‘program units’: one main program and a number of modules (up to nine of which can be active at once). Each pmgram unitis stored in a separate file. The workspace view of your program shows the names of all the program units together with the files they are stored in. It also gives access to the ‘Debug command screen’ and direct access to the Clipboard. There are thus twelve possible ‘Workspace Components’ which hold the main program, up to nine modules, the Debug command screen and the Clipboard. (The Debug command screen contains a list of extra commands which you can haveexecutedatany pointin yourpmgmam. Its use wiltbe explained in the nextchaptem.)
