Yes!  You are right, I mean the red button that say write.  So you 
put the program button at the rear to enable position and push 
write, then you'll see two dash sign, that means you have to enter 
the number of the patch you want to store.
The words save, load, cancel and verify are for the cassette 
loading.  Again, you put the tape rear button to enable position.  
Then you push the load, start the tape and wait for a message, wich 
can be Err or Good. 
Good luck.
