Apple III question

[karen@uab.edu (bathswife)]

I recently got two Apple III computers and am trying to figure out
something that ought to be rather simple but I'm completely new to the
early Apple systems and am hoping someone might be able to help.

I have copied the systems utilities disks but want to copy other disks
and can't figure out how to copy anything besides the utilities disk. 
I have a disk called the Apple II emulator (for the III) and want to
make a back up copy but haven't been able to figure it out yet.  It
seems like it would be easy to do but when I boot the system using the
Emulator disk I only have two choices, to reboot with an apple II disk
or configure the emulator.

I know the cp/m machines are totally different from SOS (1.1) but when
I was trying to retrieve my father's memoirs after his health declined
from his old epson qx10 (a cp/m machine) I finally figured a way to
convert his files to dos so I could read them on a newer machine and
transfer to more permanent media and the way I did that was very crazy
but worked.  Essentially the bottom line was that I would first copy
the drive 2 disk contents to the drive 1 utilities disk and then
convert to a special disk etc. etc.  so I am thinking this might work
with the apple III but don't want to mess something up.

So my question is :  Should I try copying the disk in volume 2 to the
utilities disk in volume 1 and then copying that on to a blank disk? 
Or am I making things too complicated?  Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

Thanks,
Karen
