[Coco] Quick Pascal

[Arthur Flexser]

DOS is a command added by Disk Basic, and therefore unrecognized by Extended Basic.

OK, I have the XRoar emulator running and I have the familiar Coco3 green
screen with "EXTENDED COLOR BASIC 2.0" and the rest. I have chosen File >
Drive 1 > Insert Disk... and selected the OS9 Level II disk image
OS9II_1.DSK. However, when I type DOS at the prompt I get "?SN ERROR". How
do I get OS9 to boot on this thing?
