[Coco] ToolShed usage question.

[tim lindner]

To copy the BASIC file back to a disk with matching source and
destination filenames and the file is already on this disk image:

decb copy -r0a PSGV2.BAS PSG7.dsk,

The -r is to overwrite the existing file
The -0 is to set the files as a BASIC program
the -a is to set the BASIC program to be type ASCII

you can also use the integrated BASIC tokenizer like this:

decb copy -rt PSGV2.BAS PSG7.dsk,
