Sorry if this is a dumb question, it seems so simple but I've searched and I

and then boot from the 5.25" floppy as you would on an Apple IIe? Thanks in
advance for you help

An 8-bit ProDOS application will run fine under GSOS. The ProDOS 8 launcher takes over, runs your app, and then exits back to GSOS when it's done. You can't run DOS apps this way - it's not a boxed virtual machine - but it works well for ProDOS.
