 NAME
     VERIFY -- Checks stored program against the one in memory
 
 ABBREVIATION
     v <shift> E

 SYNOPSIS
     VERIFY "<file>"[,<device>[,<rel_flag>]]

 FUNCTION
     This command causes your computer to check the program on tape or disk 
     against the one in memory. This is proof that the program you just SAVEd
     is really saved, to make sure that nothing went wrong. This command is 
     also very useful to position a tape so that your computer resumes 
     writing following the end of the last program on the tape. All you do is
     tell the computer to VERIFY the name of the last program on the tape. It
     will do so, and tell you that the programs don't match (which you 
     already knew). Now the tape is where you want it, and you can store the 
     next program without fear of erasing an old one.
     VERIFY without anything after the command causes the computer to check 
     the next program on tape, regardless of its name, against the program 
     now in memory. VERIFY followed by a program name (in quotes) or a string
     variable searches the tape for that program and then checks its. VERIFY 
     followed by a name and a comma and a number checks the program on the 
     device with that number. The relocate flag (<rel_flag>) is the same as 
     in the LOAD command.
 
 INPUTS
     <file>     - file name and/or pattern to be checked
     <device>   - storage device number
     <rel_flag> - relocate flag (0 or 1)
 
 RESULT
     Verification.

 EXAMPLES
     VERIFY
         Checks the next program on the tape.

     VERIFY "REALITY"
         Searches for REALITY on tape, checks against memory.

     VERIFY "ME",8,1
         Searches for ME on disk, then checks.
