[Coco] My Windows Readme

[Luis Antoniosi (CoCoDemus)]

For example, I made a cp/m emulator and I want to prepare some disks. Some
applications need kaypro_ii terminal others vt-52, so I need -k or -v
option. In order to avoid confusion I wan to make the disks with a run
script on its root. I gave up taking the current directory. No one could
give me a direction on that. Then my run script for wordstar would be:

path=/d0/cmds /d1/cmds /d2/cmds
cpm -k ws.com

My problem: This thing won't work because CP/M won't receive my keyboard,
it loads and then hangs. I need to redirect the /term to it and I don't
know how to do it. But what if the user runs it from /w7 for example ? Or
/term ?

I don't want to make ML programs for each separate pack. this is
ridiculous. If so, the os-9 scripting is pure garbage. Yeah, getting pissed
off it now....why people tell me there is no problem here ? What I didn't
get about OS-9 ?
