Summary: Yet more

It appears that the Davex program is rather huge... I just got a copy of
Davex mailed to me which filled both sides of a 5.25 disk (mailed FOR FREE,
no less.  Honest, David, I'm going to get a job soon!)  The back side
has the vstore, vrestore, the appendix on writing your own commands, and
some example source files.

I recommend this to ANYONE who does ANYTHING with ProDOS.  The filetype
change command (wanna convert BIN to SYS?) is another (very useful) thing I
forgot to mention (ECP does have this... but who wants to put up with the
keyclick? I don't think the "silent" patch was included in the posting...).

Excuse me, I'm going to go "update" my davex files... new things get added,
updated versions of files get updated, my own aliases (which are newer
than any of the disk stuff) are left alone...

Think I'll start using Merlin Pro again...
