well you can  write AppleSoft programs
after you press 'control-reset' .

you wont be able to save them anywhere though

you can also enter in 6502 machine code
at the monitor entered  by  using the basic command, call -151

there are two main  "Disk operating systems" available for the //c


the older system was called "dos 3.3"
you dont want to know  about dos 1 or 2 :)

the newer system was called prodos
prodos even had sub-directories  (and an ability to make a ram disk)
