06.032 What is the default volume and folder (directory) when ProDOS boots?

         When ProDOS boots, it will assume that LOADs, SAVEs, etc. refer to the
main directory of whatever volume is in the boot Slot and Drive. It does not
automatically establish a default volume or folder by name.

     So long as no default volume name is set, references to disks by Slot and/
or Drive (e.g. CAT,S6,D2) will set the default device (by Slot and Drive) much
as happens with similar commands entered from the keyboard under DOS 3.3.
