Example · generated

file = CreateMemblockFromFile("assets/data.dat")DO  Print(OpenFile(file))  Sync()LOOP

CreateMemblockFromFile is there to give the call something to act on; OpenFile is the line that matters. The DO … LOOP is not decoration: a classic BASIC program ends the moment it runs out of lines, and Sync() is what draws the frame.
