so when  i finish typing it in, how do i save the program, without having to
do it  to a real disk,  i want to have it saved into a DSk image, easier  to
send it in a email attachment.




You have to make a new virtual disk ( a .dsk file) in one of  the
virtual disk drives and give it a name.    The option to do  this is
on the disk drive control screen menu.   Then you type  "dskini"
followed by the drive number of the drive you put the virtual
disk in to format it just
like you would with a real system.    You must do all this  before you
type in your program so it will be ready to use.   Then you just 
"save" the program to this mounted disk.   There are no
separate dsk file manipulation utilities for the Kiel emulator.
You create and manage dsk files like you would real disks on
a real system.  It's all built into the emulator.
 
Hope this helps,
Roy
