What's the differenct between "$" and "*"? I've seen both used
in this
context. How does one change a device number? I'm not Commodore expert. The
only other Commodore product I've had is a C-16, and that seems like ages 
ago. 
"$" loads the file directory from the disk, and you use "list" to see

what files are on it. "*" loads the first program on the disk, and I 
assume the ,1 is to either load an assembly program, or to automatically 
run the file once loaded.  The ,8 is the device number - thus try, say, 
,9. :)

At least this is as far as my memory goes.
