Re: Apple 2 newbie needs help.

Well, I don't think the last reply really told you anything so I'm
going to put my $0.02 in here.

IBM DOS			Apple DOS
DIR				CATALOG
<filename>		RUN <filename>
DEL				DELETE <filename>
ERA				DELETE <Filename>
MKDIR			N/A
RMDIR			N/A
COPY			N/A (usually done by loading and then saving programs)

A good way to approach the Apple is to remember that you are always
running BASIC.  GWBASIC (pre-System 5) is fairly close to how the
Apple does it's programs.

I would suggest you do the following:

1. Find and buy an Apple DOS 3.3 manual.
2. Find and use Apple's ProDos.  It is free and much better than
   DOS 3.3 (though some might debate that statement).
3. Pick up (as cheaply as you can) manuals on how to use the Apple
   computer.  Look for old Nibble magazines, Call A.P.P.L.E.
   magazines, and others of that sort.
