Thanks. Regarding the proprietary OS - another lesson.

FWIW the CP/M manual seems to correlate well with this Apple 2
version. The TRS-80 version is older, I think, and came in a 32k and
48k version only. I *think* with the Apple version you load what you
need and save the customized version. I haven't done that yet, nor
created a working disk to copy the customized system too (if it can be
done).
