Well, strictly speaking, DOS 3.3 is CATALOG.  If you tried to use
"catalog", you would get a syntax error.

DOS 3.3 is case sensitive, and all DOS commands must be entered in upper
case.  ProDOS (BASIC.SYSTEM) isn't case sensitive, but Applesoft BASIC
itself is on a II+ or unenhanced IIe.

All case problems go away when you use BASIC.SYSTEM on a IIgs, IIc or
enhanced IIe.
