I think I'm on to something now. This is what I get when I CATALOG the 13 sector dsk. Now I have the issue where I don't know how the hell to use an Apple II. So if anybody knows, how do I choose and run any of that stuff? I mean do I need to change to a directory and run an executable? What are the commands? :?

it's been a while, but don't you just type 023? (or whichever 3 digit goes w/ which one you're trying to run)?

Ok it has been awhile since I had to use Apple ][ commands, typically it will boot directly into the program. But I believe it is as simple as:
RUN BENEATH APPLE MANOR


I stands for File Type
023 is the Size
The game name is the File name

There could be an asterix for a locked file.

that makes sense. It's been a good year and a half since I ran an Apple game.

Oh my precious pink ass.

It looks like I need to get Integer BASIC loaded into this emulator somehow and then I can run these programs.

Unless I'm being dumb or something.
