Okay, well I solved my System Disk 5.0 problem. Instead of actually removing StartPic before, I just inactivated it. No good. For reasons unknown, this still loads in (but doesn't display the picture) and gets in GS/OS's way. Once I completely removed it, I had no problems getting into and out of ProDOS 8. There still is the $4E error in ProSel-16's directory sort, but I was able to use Cat Doctor in 8 bit mode to sort them. Is there any problem with using an 8 bit program to rearrange directories? It doesn't actually have to touch the Extended Storage type, just its name, right? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Todd A.

Only if you are going to rename the files in the directory. If you are going to physically re-arrange the files, then no, only changing the names won't work, because they will still be the same files (If I name Basic.System to P8 then it is still the Basic.System program, not ProDOS 8).
