1 ~At the start of each session youshould see No. 1 flashing at thebottom left of the screen-if notthen BREAK & No.1 should appear
1 }}When transferring of all partshas been completed you can pressBREAK,CAPS SHIFT and b to escapeto BASIC or BREAK only to starttransferring another program
1 }You should always simply followthe on-screen prompts
1 }This is called a 2-PART TRANSFERwhen only a portion of a part istaken first,you must then rewindto its start and the 2nd portionis taken next
1 }The catalogue displays cartridgename, remaining memory, and fileposition - its 1st sector numberlength - rounded to .5K with 0.0 marking corrupted filestype - B=Basic, C=Code, $=String array, N=Numeric array} D=Datafile}name - inverse letters showing hexadecimal numbers of unprintable characters
1 }TAPE TO CARTRIDGE always checksavailable space on cartridge andprevents you from using names ofalready existing files by eithererasing the old ones or renamingthe new ones
1 }Sometimes it may be necessary toreload the TRANS-EXPRESS
1 }Same sequence must be achievedwhen loading from microdrive andeach part must have its name
1 }Most SPECTRUM programs consistof several parts that are loadedin a given sequence from tape
1 }If in doubt, consult the ownersof the copyright of a particularprogram you'd like to transfer
1 }Entire cartridge is transferredby pressing t - provided no filehas yet been selected, else thefile(s) will be transferred

1 {The same name will automaticallybe given to all other parts withtheir 10th character changing asan index to distinguish them
1 {TRANS-EXPRESS always takes firstpart of program separately sinceyou may want to rename it as youthen use this name to load thewhole program from microdrives
1 {Selected files are transferredin the order of selection and ifroom on back-up cartridge allowsplaced consecutively to speed uploading of multi-part programs
1 {Pressing BREAK, CAPS SHIFT and btogether lets you exit to BASIC
1 {Parts are scanned & modified asnecessary, unless you switch thescanning off by pressing 0; youcan then also stop Basic autorunby pressing s to alter the Basicyourself, should you wish so
1 {Instructions, list of commandsor current operation are alwaysshown at the bottom of screen
