Alright, class, today's question is:

Under ProDOS, in APPLESOFT, how can one get a list of the files on
a given disk (CATALOG) into a file?


This code DOESN'T work:

100 PRINT CHR$(4);"OPEN TEMP.CATALOG"
110 PRINT CHR$(4);"WRITE TEMP.CATALOG"
120 CATALOG
130 PRINT CHR$(4);"CLOSE TEMP.CATALOG"

because line 120 becomes:

120 C AT A LOG


(Isn't APPLESOFT wonderful?)


I suspect that answers to this question are of general interest;
but if you disagree, just send them to me
