I just purchased an 800XL due do the sudden price drop.

I previously had an 800, and have a lot of games on tape.
On the 800 to boot of off the tape, you turned on the computer while
holding down the START key. I can't seem to find out in the manual
how to do this on the XL. Doing it the old way still comes up with the
built-in BASIC.

Thanx,

Brian Walden
