   Instead of 'cd', use 'prefix'. [And there's no #*&%@ 'prefix ..'
to back up a directory] To make a directory, try 'create fubar,tdir'

   Append a ',S6' to the first command you want to have work on the
floppy, e.g. "cat,s6". That'll send all ProDOS commands to that disk
until you change it back.
