Browse address
Starting address of the data you want to browse.
Search limit
Limits the search to a specified number of bytes. You enter a hexadecimal number or * (the default). By default the entire storage is scanned, in pieces of 64KB each.
Location
Shows the hexadecimal location of the bytes displayed.
Offset
Shows the offset of the 16 bytes displayed relative to the selected address for Location.
Hex
Displays the hexadecimal representation of the storage data.
Char
Displays the storage data in character format.

The following primary commands are available on this panel:

  • BACK - this command is unique to the Memory Browse panel.
  • CLIPBOARD - this command is unique to the Memory Browse panel.
  • FIND - see FIND/FX primary command
  • NEXTPAGE - this command is unique to the Memory Browse panel.

The BACK primary command restores the previous browse address. It returns you to offset zero of the current browse address or, if the offset is zero, it restores the browse address saved in the previous position of the pointer chain.

The CLIPBOARD primary command displays the data currently saved on the clipboard using the PUT command in an Edit session (see Copying data to and from a clipboard).

The length of the clipboard data is stored beginning with offset X'C'; the data itself is stored beginning with offset X'10'.

Note: The CLIPBOARD primary command only displays data saved on the clipboard if Memory Browse is invoked from an Edit session (during which you have saved data to the clipboard using the PUT command).

The NEXT primary command sets a new browse address and saves the current browse address. Either place the cursor onto a pointer value visible on the screen, or enter the new address into the Browse address field, then enter NEXT (or use a corresponding function key). To go forward to a previously saved address, check that your cursor is not on a data field, then enter NEXT (or use a corresponding function key). File Manager saves up to 64 browse addresses in a chain.

Use the scroll commands to move the display window over the user storage. For details, see Scrolling to see data.
