  Description of fonction keys:    

  F1: access or leave the main menu (press that first)

  F2: sound  on/off

  F3: activate printer of file, then type LLIST and wait, it will create a text file (printer.txt) of a basic program for exemple

  F4:  double processor clock speed during the game, acceleration very useful !! , you can adjust manually too, in main menu

  F5: put clock to original speed = 1 mHz

  F6: complete reboot of Oric (you lose the program)

  F7: try to only reboot the program, but don't work always

  F8: DumpSound activate/desactivate

  F9: backup of the memory during the game, it create a dump file delicate to use (details above)

  F10: leave euphoric

  F11: debugger tool (for programmers only)

  F12: to make screenshots very simply
 

  4 - Using the dump file created by F9   5 - Creation of shortcut for launching dump file
  
    Pressing F9 create a dump file which is a copy of the RAM
   But beware ! the file is unique 
   Each time you press F9, you delete previous one

   So if you want to keep a game
   you must manually create copies in separate directories
   impossible to change the name, always use dump

   euphoric use the dump file which is in its own repertory

    Using the backup dump:
  
  you must launch euphoric modified by parameter:  -r

  the most simple is to create a special short-cut
