# T/S Helpline

Had a couple of to PEOPLE aSK how make 2068 programs that start as soon as they are loaded. The answer to that one is simple but bears repeating.

Simply add this LINE to your program:

```
9999 SAVE "Program name" LINE 0
```

As simple as it may sound, some have had trouble BREAKing an autorun BASIC program on the 2068. On this machine, you must remember to press both the BREAK and the CAPS SHIFT at the same time. That will usually do the job unless the program is using a protect routine
