Hi Everybody.....
 
    A friend of mine has a programming problem and maybe someone has
some ideas on how to solve the problem.
 
    The problem is as follows:  He has a student tutorial program that
    must use a random access file quite often, to speed up the process
    of reading the file from the 5 1/4 floppy, he would like to load the
    file from the floppy into a ramdisk located in slot 3, since he could
    then access the file very fast from ram.   Does anyone know of a way
    to have ProDos copy a file from one disk to another, while still
    under the control of basic?     Any information that you may have
    will be appreciated.
