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.
