I should first point out what an _incredible_ relief it is to finally find
the support for my //e I've always heard about.  Needless to say, I'm new
to the network.

     I've been looking for a variety of routines which, to date, I haven't
found in the public domain.  I was wondering if anyone knows of:
       (1) a ProDOS-8 COPY routine (to run on a 128K unextended //e)
           preferably in the form of a patch -- maybe over some less-
           used ProDOS commands in BASIC.SYSTEM, or as an &-vector.

       (2) a decent ProDOS-8 driver for the Hayes-AT command set, with
           GetKey, GetLine, wordwrap and NoEcho functions.

     Last question:  I notice a lot of files go flying by in this NewsGroup;
I see things like (763 lines) but can't read them.  I gather they're bits of
binary code -- how do I access them?  Do I require certain priviledges, or is
there a NEWS command I can use?
 
Thanks.
Markum.
