Naming files on Apple IIe disks

When you're in the Macintosh environment, you can only give files on Apple

IIe disks legal ProDOS names, with two exceptions:

- You can use spaces in the names. When you view a filename that contains

spaces in the Apple IIe environment, the spaces are automatically converted

to periods. For example, the name "MY FILE" in the Macintosh environment

would appear as "MY.FILE" in the Apple IIe environment.

- You can use lowercase letters in the names. When you view a filename that

contains lowercase letters in the Apple IIe environment, the letters are

automatically converted to uppercase. For example, the name "File" in the

Macintosh environment would appear as "FILE" in the Apple IIe environment.

Using macintosh programs with Apple IIe files

You may be able to use your Macintosh programs to view and edit your Apple

IIe files. For example, if you wrote a letter using an Apple IIe program, you

might be able to edit the letter with your Macintosh word processor.
