I didn't say that the Apple2-l list was leaving, I just said that those of you who can access comp.binaries.apple2 should sign up on that list (uucp people). Those on bitnet should continue to stay on the apple2-l list since the two lists will be linked. You wouldn't want to receive two copies of everything, would you? Chris

Questions should be sent to info-apple@brl.arpa. --chris ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- incidently, question: I rarely actually use my apple because of dificulties in going from one prodos program to another. a) how does one get basic on a prodos disk b) how could one put ones forth or pascal on there c) if a program asks for a pathname, and one doesn't remember the proper one (ie when leaving an application such as ascii express (?) , is there a way to simply put a disk in the drive, have a listing of possible paths printed up, and then specify the path to use? thanx in advance, david

The other way is to load BASIC.SYSTEM. b) --Not sure -- I don't use Pascal or Forth. c) To get a list of SYS (system) files on the current prefix, you must have a program that will do it for you, some of the more popular ones are Squirt, ProSel, ECP, and I believe Davex does the same thing. There are a number of them available -- too many to list here. If you want the program I use to go to BASIC, then leave me mail, and I'll send it to you (in Executive form), and I'll do some checking on question "b" if noone else posts a answer. |--------------------------( Carl Boernecke )-------------------------| Send | UUCP: [crash sdcsvax sdchem ihnp4] !bang!pnet08!pro-avalon!carlb | mail or | ARPA: bang!pnet08!pro-avalon!carlb@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu | replies | INET: pro-avalon!carlb@pnet08.cts.com ProLine [pro-avalon]: | to --> | ProLine: carlb@pro-avalon (619) 271-0131 - 3/12/24 - 24 hrs | |---------------------------------------------------------------------|
