path - CMD executable path command for ProDOS

Build with ca65

Installation:

• Copy target to ProDOS disk
• From BASIC.SYSTEM prompt, run: -PATH from STARTUP (or by hand)

Usage:

PATH            - view current search path
PATH prefix     - set search path

Once set, binary files of type CMD in the specified directory can be invoked by name. The command line will be present at $200 (GETLN input buffer).

Example:

] -/hd/path              - install it
] PATH /hd/cmds          - set PATH
] PATH                   - verify path
/hd/cmds
] BELL                   - will invoke /hd/cmds/BELL if present

Notes:

• Allocates a 1 page buffer to store the code
• Can be invoked as lower case (e.g. path ...)
