CATALOG,D2
RUN MYGAME,D2

or

CATALOG,S6,D2
RUN MYGAME,S6,D2
if you want to specify Slot.

DOS 3.3 commands like the above have the effect of switching the default drive.
After, say, the CATALOG,D2 a plain CATALOG will also show the contents of the
diskette in Drive 2. Commands like RUN MYGAME, BLOAD MYFILE, etc. will look for the
files on the diskette in Drive 2.

See http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/Csa2DOSMM.html for more on DOS 3.3 and ProDOS
commands.
