===== BEGIN STORAGE...END STORAGE ✓ =====

===== SYNTAX =====
     BEGIN STORAGE name [AS filename] ... END STORAGE
     STORAGE name [AS filename] ... END STORAGE

==== PURPOSE ====


The ''BEGIN STORAGE..END STORAGE'' allows to begin describing 
the content of a storage media. The syntax of this command
allows to define up to two parameter. The first parameter,
''name'', refers to the internal name of the storage.
The ''filename'', optional, will define the file name
that will contain the "image" of the storage. If omitted,
the program filename will be used, and an additional incremented
number will be appended, one for each storage media.

Note that, for some targets, a special toolchain is needed to
manage this keyword. In particular, for ''cpc'' target you need to 
install and use the correct version of the ''z88dk-appmake'' application. 
Starting from version 1.15.3 of ugBASIC, that is, since 
''BEGIN STORAGE'' was implemented for ''cpc'', it is necessary to use a 
patched version of the z88dk toolchain. The version that can be
obtained from the official release is not powerful enough to include 
external files in the disk image that is created for that target.

You can find out the empowered version looking for a fork of that project, 
or as a module inside ugBASIC. You should recompile it on a specific branch 
(''ugbasic'' branch, precisely). On ugBASIC website and on the UGBASIC-IDE
there is a precompiled version from that version, that can be directly
used.
