 CHAPTER 2a

 When DOS 3.3 BASIC is run, it reads the MOUNTS3.3 file from the directory
 specified by the current ProDOS prefix, and uses that information to determine
 on which slot/drive pair to look for its startup program (HELLO), what ProDOS
 files (DOS 3.3 volumes) to mount on selected slot/drive pairs, and whether or
 not to reserve room for DOS when you initialize a file or diskette.

 When you select the "Edit Mount File for DOS 3.3 Application" option, you are
 asked to enter the name of the subdirectory containing your MOUNTS3.3 file.
 When you installed DOS 3.3 a MOUNTS3.3 file was created for you in the
 CATALYST2E subdirectory. If no MOUNTS3.3 file is found in another subdirectory
 you specify, you are asked if one should be created.  If you enter a negative
 response, you are returned to the DOS Volume Manager main menu.

 If the MOUNTS3.3 file is found (or if you request a new file should be
 created), you are presented with a display listing some of the file's
 attributes, including its location, the slot/drive which will be used to find
 the startup program (HELLO), and whether or not tracks will be reserved for
 DOS
 when you initialize diskettes or ProDOS volumes.

 Also shown is a menu of options which allow you to set the HELLO program
 location, change the DOS track allocation for diskettes or DOS 3.3 volumes,
 and
 edit the mounts for your MOUNTS3.3 file.  Pressing ESCAPE at this menu will
 return you to the DOS Volume Manager main menu.

 If you select the "Edit mounts" option instead, you are presented with a list
 of all slot and drive combinations, and the DOS 3.3 volume currently
 associated
 with each pair.
 You may mount DOS 3.3 volumes in any location except those slot/drive pairs
 occupied by a floppy diskette controller card which are noted with a "Disk II"
 entry. NOTE: The MOUNTS3.3 file can only work with one startup program
 (HELLO) located on a slot/drive pair at a time. You may, however, mount up to
 12 DOS 3.3 volumes under it for access. In order to run a HELLO program from
 another mounted DOS 3.3 volume, you must select the SET HELLO PROGRAM LOCATION
 from the EDIT MOUNTS FILE FOR DOS 3.3. APPLICATION menu.

 To edit the entry for a particular slot/drive pair, simply select the desired
 entry when asked, "Edit which mount?".  You will then be asked for the "New
 mount file path".  If you don't want any DOS 3.3 volume mounted on the
 selected
 slot/drive pair, simply press RETURN.  Otherwise, enter the pathname for the
 DOS 3.3 volume you wish to mount.  You will be warned if the name of the
 DOS 3.3 volume you supply cannot be found.

 When you are finished editing the mounts, press ESCAPE and you will be
 returned
 to the menu of options for editing your MOUNTS3.3 file.  If no further changes
 are desired, press ESCAPE again, and you are returned to the DOS Volume
 Manager
 main menu.
 5. Quit
 The last entry on the DOS Volume Manager main menu is used to exit the
 program.
 To return to the Catalyst menu, type "BYE".
