John - EDTASM is not an Apparat program; it is a Radio Shack program for which
Apparat wrote some extensions and bug-fixes.  Apparat issued their improved
version with the NEWDOS operating system for the TRS-80 Model I, but they
required the buyer to have already purchased the original Radio Shack program.
To enforce that requirement, Apparat issued no documentation for EDTASM except
that which covered their own fixes and extensions.  Their version allows the
source file to be from either disk or tape, and will write the source and/or
object file(s) to either disk or tape.  To load a source file, the commands
are:
     L D=filename   if the file is on disk, and
     L T=filename   if the file is on tape.
To write a file to disk or tape, the commands are similar:
     W D=filename
     W T=filename.

the only way is to assemble it and write it to disk. Then, save the
source to disk (W L=filespec). Exit the EDTASM (B command). Exexute
(sorry about the spelling) the program. The Apparat EDTASM is not
an in-memory EDTASM. EDAS (from MisoSYS) can do this I believe.
