The Index popdown

The Index popdown allows you to

Enter popdowns or applications.
Start PipeDream (or BBC BASIC) with a new, blank, document (or program).

The SUSPENDED ACTIVITIES list shows the following information for each suspended activity:

Heading	Meaning

Heading	Meaning
`YOUR REF.`	The name given to the document (with the PipeDream FC or FL commands, the Diary or PrinterEd FC, FS, or FL commands, or the BASIC *NAME command)
`APPLICATION`	The application name
`WHEN SUSPENDED`	The time and date the document was suspended
`CARDS`	The number of the card slot, for activities using an application card

There can be more than one PipeDream and BBC BASIC suspended activity, but only one for each of the other applications.

To re-enter a suspended activity, select it by moving the highlighting bar across with the cursor keys, and then press the

key. Alternatively, pressing

P or

B repeatedly will enter each PipeDream or BBC BASIC activity in turn.

To kill a suspended activity, select it on the SUSPENDED ACTIVITIES list with the cursor, and type

KILL. The activity will be removed from the list, and the document (or program) associated with it will be lost.

PURGE is equivalent to a soft reset, which kills all suspended activities, and should therefore be used with great caution.
