   Well, there needs to be a space in it: "COLD /N". I don't know what the
"directory not found" message is about. The screen should go blank & the
familiar boot procedure should begin. Remember to hold down OPTION to
disable internal BASIC if desired.

   I don't have my manuals with me at the moment, but if you don't get a
reply, send me mail. Also, the codes are listed in the original "Your
Atari Computer" if you have a copy around.
