Installing Thinktank On Catalyst For The Apple III

You may move ThinkTank (Living Videotext) to the hard disk. This will allow
you to access it with greater ease than using floppy disks. These instructions
assume you are moving ThinkTank to a ProFile (with a driver name .PROFILE).
Substitute the name of your hard disk driver for .PROFILE if you wish to
install ThinkTank on a different hard disk.

displayed in a box. The up and down arrow keys allow you to move an inverse
bar over the name of your choice. Pressing the right arrow key marks the file

way. When all files are marked, press RETURN.
