# LOA, LOAD, REA, READ

NAME
LOA, LOAD, REA, READ - load the specified file.
SYNOPSIS
LOA file_name
LOAD file_name
REA file_name
READ file_name
DESCRIPTION
Load and display the specified file. The file content will be treated as a separate structure. The unique structure identifier (positive integer) will be assigned to this structure. The structure will be placed in the middle of the screen.
You can load any file more than once. A total number of structures which may be simultaneously loaded depends on the available memory. The hard-coded maximum is 1000, which should be more than enough.
The command LOAD may be written in uppercase, lowercase or mixed case, but the file name should be specified in correct case - unix file names are case sensitive.
SEARCH PATH
One or more directories will be searched to find the specified file, in the following order:
(1) the current working directory;
(2) directory specified in the environment variable MOL_DIR;
(3) all directories specified in the environment variable MOL_PATH.
The recommended environment variable is MOL_PATH.
NOTES
(1) The command LOAD resets the editing mode to default (no editing).
RELATED COMMANDS
DIS (DISCARD) discards the specified structure. SAV (SAVE) saves the atomic data to a file.
