ELITE SERIES USER MANUAL ENHANCED DOS UTIL.
After you’ve specified the format type, you will
be asked:
VOLUME NUMBER (1-254)? 254
On this question, the default is always 254,
which is the standard default used by the
original INIT command. If you wish a different
volume number, just type it in followed by
<RETURN>. If the default number is okay, just
type <RETURN> without anything else.
After you specify the volume number, FORMAT will
want to know the hello file name. However, it
asks it in a slightly funny way:
HI FILE? HELLO
Asking for the “hi” file is not FORMAT’s way of
being cute, instead in permits a full 30
character file name (permitted under DOS) to be
specified on the 40 column Apple screen.
Although the INIT command required a hello file
name (it would not default), the default has
always been accepted as being “HELLO”. The
hello file is the program which DOS
automatically executes when that diskette is
booted.
You have the option of typing a new file name
(if you don’t like HELLO) followed by <RETURN>,
or simply pressing <RETURN> without typing
anything else to accept the default name.
