   Thank you Robert.   
      
   I've been having some fun with c64 disks.   
   I think I will figure out how to unhide some files that  I can't see. I have   
   an Infocom game called Spellbreaker and the prg file is 3 blks or 3   
   something. I know it has to be larger than that because if I copy  just the   
   prg flle to another disk. It doesn't run.   
      
   Its a stretch for me basically using DOS from the start. Yeah I had a c64 but   
   the things I did was play games or write really small programs then save them   
   to disk.
