You mean I have to name a file even if one doesn't exist?  Whatever I
type in, that will be the name of the file that I wind up creating when
DASM boots up?  Or if the file does exist, it starts up and loads that
one right into the system and I work on it?

Does this also mean I need the directory header (is that what they are
called?)?  It's on my C drive under a file marked "Peter G's Atari 2600
Crap".  If my memory is correct, actual DOS only allows filenames up to
eight characters long.  Do I have to, from the C prompt, type whatever
the actual eight character name is, then a / and the dasm....stuff?

I do appreciate the help.
