Thanks again -- that gave me enough clues to get something to work.
Tried just having ProDos at the top level and a System directory
containing only Basic.System -- that didn't work; not clear why (error
msg was someting like ...  "can't find xxx.System file" (I do remember
the xxx.System specifically.)  What I did instead, however, was to take
the file called "P8" inside the System file (which is really Prodos 8),
put that on a blank disc, rename it to be Prodos, and also include
Basic.System.  Worked fine -- looked for a Basic program called Startup
and was off an running.  Note that the final disk that worked didn't
have any subdirectories at all -- just the ProDos file, the Basic.System
file, and any Basic program named Startup.  My guess is that the file
called ProDos on the system disk is modified somewhat to make sure
enough of the GS toolboxes etc get loaded, although there are several
other programs (e.g., ProDos 16) on the disk that could also be doing
that.
