Renumber could be patched to run under ProDOS (the patch appeared in 
inCider magazine and I used it for a while) but you can ask around for a 
book/disk called "BASIC PROGRAMMING WITH PRODOS" from Apple, which 
included a renumbering utility as part of "APA" (Applesoft Programmers' 
Assistant, I believe it stood for). If you don't have a full-featured 
Applesoft program editor, this is a really good thing to have. If you 
really want convenient Applesoft programming, get a copy of Program 
Writer from Beagle Bros. - either used or new from Scantron Quality 
Computers. It renumbers just fine :-)
