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.
