: To get a text file of a "catalog" of a ProDos disk you can use the
: "Information Desk" module of either the 8-bit or 16-bit versions of
: ProSel.  It will get files from all the sub-directories, too.  ProSel
: saves the text file to the <boot> disk in the form (CAT.APPLEWORKS). 
: The file will be CAT. plus the first eleven characters of the volume
: name of the disk being cataloged.

--> Thanks for the pointer; t'is muchly appreciated!  They're all
    ProDOS diskettes - so ProSel sounds like it'll do the trick.
