Michael, you're programming him to ask next how to make
the disks so that he can feed them to his IIc! ;-)

Perhaps adding that he can find many infos in the Apple FAQs
will enable him to go that route. Also the search function in
Google Groups is immensely helpful as there are already lots
of threads about it.

While I agree that Merlin is one of the best choices to program
directly on the Apple I hesitate to recommend it until he got some
sort of mass storage device (unless he wants to handle disks
a lot) and use a cross assembler instead.
Limitless mass storage capacity, easy transfers of data into the
host environment and the ease of consulting reference
documentation on the same screen (PDF- or text files) are the
main advantages - not even mentioning a speed advantage that is
incomparable to anything running on any Apple II hardware.
