This is where my problem occurs.  I have a 10Mb ProDOS partition on my
harddrive.  My BASIC.SYSTEM and PRODOS.SYSTEM files are there.  I can copy
files into this partition using the Mac finder, and they show up under a
CATALOG command, but I can't execute anything, nor can I see anything but
those two files under the ProDOS "finder" (after typing BYE at the prompt).
I can't even get BINSCII or SHRINKIT to work.  They're there on the disk, but
the DOS won't recognize it.

I thought the whole thing was worth scrapping until I downloaded a utility
disk from Apple's website.  It came as an 800k ProDOS DiskCopy image.  I made
a 3.5" diskette out of it and it works perfectly.  I'm confused!  :-)
