You are in the System Utilities.  Select the option "Quit to
BASIC" or run the file "BASIC.SYSTEM" to exit to the
BASIC prompt.

ProDOS has an interesting command called "-".  As long
as you append an "-" in front of an executable file, it'll run
whatever the format of the file.  So to run the file:

CONVERT

You would need to type:

-CONVERT

That should do the trick.  Good luck!
