That isn't surprising as the "ProDOS 8 Technical Reference Manual" is
a reference for ProDOS 8 and not Applesoft BASIC.  If you want
information on command like BLOAD and such that you use through
BASIC.SYSTEM, get yourself a copy of of a book about Applesoft
programming that also covers ProDOS.

I have a DOS Programmer's Manual but I don't think I've ever seen a
ProDOS Programmer's Manual.  Does anyone know if Apple ever released
one.  I know other books have covered it, though.
