The manual is 32 pages in very small print, I have no problems with OCR, but it is
really time consuming. There is also a 12 page tutorial.
Under the Binary File Transfer, this is what the manual states, in part:
Given the binary length of files such as the sequential pictures (.SPC), you can
change their loading addresses with the following commands (the example uses a file
named HOUSE.SPC, with a length of 387 bytes, and a desired loading location of
24800):
BLOAD HOUSE.PIC,A24800
BSAVE HOUSE.PIC, A24800,L387
Subsequent BLOADing of the file will automatically start at 24800.

Says also there is a demo on the main menu, it is designed as a self-operating,
repeating demo, you'll have to press RESET to end it. To get back to the main menu
without rebooting, type 'RUN N' (or as we do for short, 'RUNN').

If you want more information let me know. I can distill the manual if I can find the
time. Remove "my" to answer.
