[Coco] Re: [Color Computer] Really need OS-9 help

[chazbeenhad]

Thank you. I will give that a try. You see, I wrote notes in my OS9 
manual about the commands I had replaced the stock commands with. On 
the bottom of the page for the copy command I wrote : copy *.* -
w=destination. All these years later I assumed that the : was just 
the OS9 prompt. Opps.... but I'll see tonight when I give it a try. 
Thanks again.

I had a bunch of other troubles last night. I installed a 5.25 floppy 
in my PC so I can use it to get data over to the coco. I tried an 
emulator with the DSKINI command and it just wasn't working. I also 
tried the pc program OS9 to write to OS9 disks on the PC. That didnt 
work either. Maybe its Windows XP .... I know these programs were 
written for dos. All this will be my next HELP post if I can't figure 
something out. :-)
