[Coco] wdir command?

[L. Curtis Boyle]

I don’t remember if Wdir came with it, but Bill is correct in that we received a portion of the Level II upgrade by accident with our TC-9’s (but far from complete). We disassembled (as Bills said) several of the modules (since we were tasked with doing upgrades to the TC9IO driver, which covered the keyboard, joysticks, and sound, and had hooks into the windowing system).

The story I remember is Frank Hogg gave us a copy of Level 2 for the TC-9, at time of sale, that happened to contain portions of the upgrade by accident.  We didn’t discover this until we started disassembly of the TC-9 core vs the CC3.

Found this info referencing a “GEnie” archive, which seems to have been lost? It would’ve contained the Basic09 source for this command.
