Answers a) You must load a program that will allow you to exit to BASIC, I
have made a program for myself that I load, then it will put me at BASIC.  The
other way is to load BASIC.SYSTEM.

b) --Not sure -- I don't use Pascal or Forth.

c) To get a list of SYS (system) files on the current prefix, you must have a
program that will do it for you, some of the more popular ones are Squirt,
ProSel, ECP, and I believe Davex does the same thing.  There are a number of
them available -- too many to list here.

If you want the program I use to go to BASIC, then leave me mail, and I'll
send it to you (in Executive form), and I'll do some checking on question "b"
if noone else posts a answer.
