Reading Text File Names Into Applesoft Programs

Article Abstract:

A utility program is available to read text file names into Applesoft programs. Previously this could only be done by issuing the CATALOG command from the BASIC program. The disadvantages to this method include all files on the disk being listed, and then the user must retype the name of the file to be loaded. Program listings are included.
