CONFIGURE CREATE specifies the kind of file header to use when creating a LIF ASCII or BDAT file. By default, HTBasic creates "HTB" file headers, since they are two or three times smaller than HP LIF headers. BDAT files with HTB headers can also be created with data in either LSB or MSB byte ordering (see CONFIGURE BDAT). File operations are much faster when the byte ordering of the file matches the byte ordering of the computer.
Use CONFIGURE CREATE "HP" if you wish to create data files that are simultaneously accessed over a network by HTBasic and HP BASIC.
