== Disconnecting Smart Box from the host computer ==

If you close the Smart Move application using "Disconnect" instead of "Quit" then the procedures in the Smart Box will continue running.
The disconnect command differs according to the host computer platform:

* PC: Press Shift+F10
* Apple Macintosh: Select File→Disconnect from the Smart Move application menu.
* Acorn Archimedes: Select Disconnect from the menu displayed when the menu button is clicked over the program icon on the Icon bar.
* BBC Micro / Master: Press Shift+''f''<sub>0</sub>

Disconnecting closes the Smart Move program while allowing the procedures in the Smart Box to continue running.
The host computer can then be disconnected from the Smart Box.
When the connection is remade and the Smart Move program is run, any procedures in Smart Box will be reloaded into Smart Move.
If power is disconnected from the Smart Box, its memory is cleared, so save procedures before disconnecting.

This section has introduced the basic principles involved in creating a Smart Move program.
The [[reference]] section gives full details of each command.
Whenever you write a Smart Move program try to create a number of procedures, each doing a specific task, rather than one large program doing everything.
In this way you will be able to test the individual parts of your program and identify the errors more easily.
