Well, there is no direct way of doing a catalog thru the prodos MLI (meaning, there is no such call.) However, if BASIC.SYSTEM is loaded, you can call the catalog routine thru there (don't know the address, it's probably changed every now and then...) The easiest thing to do is write your own routine. If you want to catalog the volume directory, you'll have to read the blocks directly (I don't think that the volume dir can be opened as a file) Sub-dirs can be opened as files and read easily. If you don't have Beneath Apple ProDOS by Quality Software - you'll need it so buy it. It has the whole directory structure documented, as well as other neat stuff (complete MLI call descriptions and exactly how to use them). I find the book indispensible (sp?). DISCLAIMER: I don't even know anyone at Quality Software, except Isaac Newton. Dave Whitney whitney@think.com
