Hello line eater, meet the world !

In answer to your question re:track number 18 being seen as track 12 - your
edit disk function either has a hex (base 16) mode, and you were in it
('12' is the hex value for 18) or it always displays track numbers in hex.

When doing things with sectors on the disk I prefer to read the entire
sector, then use the 'b-p' buffer pointer command to point to the starting
byte that I wish to read or change the value of, then write out the entire
sector again. The correct syntax for the commands is in your disk manual,
but use 'u1' and 'u2' to do your reading and writing, and not the 'b-r' or
the 'b-w', and you'll probably have less problems.
