Re: help with PRODOS needed

You might see if you can scrounge up a copy of The Apple II Users
Guide by McGraw-Hill as it has a good review of ProDOS as well as
nearly everything else. You'll also want the latest Apple II System
Utilities Disk, and a copy of ProDOS v1.9 if these are un-enhanced
IIe's. Other than that the ProDOS command set is very similar to
DOS 3.3. The big differences are a 15 character limit for file names,
no spaces (use periods), CAT gives a 40 col catalog, and CATALOG gives
an 80 col catalog (more info), use "-" as a wildcard to run files,
use PREFIX to change volumes & directories (Dn still works to change
drives), PREFIX subdirectory changes to a subdirectory on disk,
PREFIX /volume changes volumes, PREFIX /volume/directory changes to
a directory on a volume.

That's enough to get you into trouble :)
