RAID I HAVE COMMITTED THE."UNPARDONABLE
SIN" FOR A COMPUTER.PROGRAMMER. I TRIED

OUT FIRST MAKING.A BACKUP COPY. A LIST
OF THE DISK.DIRECTORY SHOWED A SHORT PRO
GRAM, "!",.TO BE PLACED AHEAD OF THE "ST
AR".PROGRAM. I WANTED THE "STAR" TO BE.
THE FIRST IN THE DIRECTORY SO THAT.ALL I
WOULD HAVE TO DO TO LOAD THE.PROGRAM WI
TH MY FAST LOAD CARTRIDGE.WOULD BE TO EN
TER "/*". NEEDLESS TO.SAY, THE PROGRAM
WOULD NOT RUN WITH.THE FILES SWITCHED.
WHEN I TRIED TO.SWAP THE FILES BACK, "ST
AR" WAS LOST...WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF TH
E PROGRAM."!" AND WHY CAN'T THE FILES BE
.REARRANGED TO ALLOW ME TO EASILY LOAD.T
HE MENU WITH MY FAST LOAD CARTRIDGE?..>T
