Absolutely Correct. The mouse handles perfectly now! I also found out
you can jump into the control panel at any time, not just at startup.
Which means you can adjust the controls on the fly, good for accessing
the System Speed feature to slow down the emulator for Apple IIe
emulation.

OK sounds good! I'm gonna give all that a shot. I also am gonna
download the full system 6.0.1 disks and get them all together.

...In other news, I was in a Thrift Shop yesterday and a grabbed a
stack of usable 5.25" Apple IIe floppies, I have been surfing around
in them and I can get a lot of stuff to load... I am experimenting
with trying to understand how they boot, their different OS'es [ProDOS
and DOS 3.3], experimenting also with trying to copy volumes from the
5.25" floppies to 3.5" floppies, so there can be more data on a single
disk. 

When you are at the ProDOS command line and you "CATALOG" and there
are folders in the CATALOG, how do you enter the folder, or can that
only be done from GS/OS [I know for sure it can be done there]... 




Everywhere you look, it's all Science...
