===== FILE ✓ =====

===== SYNTAX =====
     FILE source [AS target]

==== PURPOSE ====


The ''FILE'' command, inserted inside a ''BEGIN STORAGE'' - ''ENDSTORAGE'' block, 
allows you to define the content of the mass storage element. The basic syntax requires 
indicating the name of the ''source'' file that will be inserted into the medium. 
If you don't want to use the same name, you can indicate an alias (''AS target'').



==== EXAMPLE ====
    FILE "examples/data.dat"
    FILE "sprites.png" AS "sprites.dat"
