PRODOS COMMANDS
===============
CAT or
CATALOG
Provides a directory listing. CAT give an abbreviated listing that
will fit on a 40-column screen. CATALOG provides a more complete
listing for 80-column screens
PREFIX
This is the ProDOS equivalent of the MS-DOS CHDIR, or CD.
Note: ProDOS uses "/" to indicate directorys while
MS-DOS uses "\". I'm sure they did this to mess us all up!
CREATE
This is the ProDOS equivalent of the MS-DOS MKDIR, or MD.
RENAME
Renames a file. Same as what was in AppleDOS 3.3.
DELETE
Deletes a file. Same as what was in AppleDOS 3.3.
LOCK
Locks a file. Same as what was in AppleDOS 3.3.
UNLOCK
Unlocks a file. Same as what was in AppleDOS 3.3.
VERIFY
Verify that a particular file exists. In AppleDOS, VERIFY would check
to see if each sectore was readable. I'm not sure if ProDOS does this
or not.
- (DASH)
Executes a file regardless of what type it is.
RUN
Runs an Applesoft BASIC program.
Note: Integer BASIC is *NOT* supported in ProDOS.
LOAD
Loads an Applesoft BASIC program.
SAVE
Saves an Applesoft BASIC program.
BYE
Exits BASIC.SYSTEM to run another .SYSTEM file.
EXEC
Executes a text file. Same as what was in AppleDOS 3.3.
BRUN
Executes a binary file. Same as what was in AppleDOS 3.3.
BLOAD
Loades a binary file. Same as what was in AppleDOS 3.3.
BSAVE
Saves a binary file. Same as what was in AppleDOS 3.3.
Deferred Execution ProDOS Commands
==================================
For the most part, these are the same a AppleDOS 3.3. The noteable
exceptions are;
CHAIN
Leaves current BASIC program to execure another *without* erasing
program variables. This was part of AppleDOS 3.3 but only worked in
Integer BASIC.
STORE
Allows you to save on disk the names and values of all variables in a
BASIC program. With ProDOS loaded you override the command of the
same name that is available in Applesoft. The Applesoft versions does
the same but *only* to cassette tape.
RESTORE
Complimentary function to the STORE command.
FLUSH
Forces ProDOS to write data to disk from temporary buffers without
closing files.
