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.
