System information

Similar to other transient commands, editing can take place on a drive different from the
currently logged disk by preceding the source filename by a drive name. The following are
examples of valid edit requests:
ED A:X.ASMEdits the file X ASM on drive A, with new file and back-up on drive A.
ED B:X.ASM A:Edits the file X.ASM on drive B to the temporary file X.$$$ on drive A.
After editing, this command changes X.ASM on drive B to X.BAK and changes X.$$$ on drive
A to X.ASM

SOURCE DRIVE NAME

containing a CP/M system, usually A. If a copy of CP/M already exists in memory
due to a MOVCPM command, press only a carriage return. Typing a drive
name d causes the response:
SOURCE ON d THEN TYPE RETURN
Place a disk containing the CP/M operating system on drive d (d is one of A, B, C,
