Hi,

	A few *easy* questions regarding Apple IIGS Operating System
software.  I'm dealing with an old version of GS/OS, so please bear
with me.  The system configuration is: Apple IIGS Rom 03, 3.5" floppy,
5.25" floppy (daisy-chained off 3.5 when needed, off otherwise), CVT
card in slot 7, Quantum hardrive, and RGB monitor.  I scrounged the
GS/OS from various game disks, so its relatively imcomplete.

	[1] I stuck in a 5.25" floppy (had typing tutor on it) and
	    double-clicked on the icon.  A dialog box came up with
	    message "Wrong ProDos ..."  I think I have ProDos 8 and
	    don't know how to get ProDos 16, or vice versa.

	[2] Do all applications need a version of ProDos in the same
	    folder as the application?

	[3] What's the basic configuration for GS/OS: 
		System folder: Drivers, Start, Finder, Launcher ...
		Icon folder: system icons
		ProDos: file system application
	
	[4] Does GS/OS take care of different ProDos versions?  In
	    other words, any can application run under GS/OS 5.0.2?

	Thanks in advance!!!
