I just noticed that a few items in my previous posting were not very clear. First of all, the davex posting I got was missing the actual external commands vstore and vrestore and possibly others, as well as having problems in the help file (some entries printing garbage, others giving "Prodos Error: Bad file pos"). Also, in my inquiry about quit routines, I'm asking: What does a normal ProDos system program do when quitting that lets it realize that it should go back to davex rather than prompting for a path and application? And one thing that I forgot entirely to mention: In the file Davex.Doc, David Lyons says "an appendix describes how assembly language programmers can write more external commands", but this appendix never materializes. I'm >very< eager to learn how to do this; where is the documentation actually to be found? . . . . . . ... . . . . . . . . . . ... . .
