of course after you activate the disk operating system, do the
BASIC.SYSTEM thing.

Another REALLY handy way to make a file of the directory is using
AppleWriter. Version 2.1 has been released as copyrighted freeware by
author Paul Lutus and can be downloaded form GEnie, or ftp'd from the
a2 sites.
 
 [L]oad:# duplicates what is in memory.  If you wanted to make
multiple copies of your return address, for, say, return address
labels, [L]# 5 times would give you 32 copies of your return address.
 
[L]? to Query the disk; at the Enter Volume Name: at the prompt, a #
response copies the disk catalog to memory. Just hit return at the
Load: prompt.  Thus: APPLWRITER2HELP (04/20/90 22:18) V000
