Hello Olimex -- Your last 2 answers have helped me much.  (If I keep bothering you with questions, and if I learn enough, I would be happy to help you write a few tutorials/documentations for your site.)

My goal is to write and work with applesoft programs (and maybe eventually my own binary/machine language programs) in the Apple II emulators.

Thank you for showing me how to install these two emulators:
(A) apple2_800x600_400MHz.uf2
(B) apple2e-5.uf2

In the second emulator (B), I can't even get down to the Applesoft basic level...  It is stuck in the retro game pack.
QUESTION 1:  Do you know how to get out of that game pack in that emulator?

Over in the first emulator (A), if I write a BASIC program, then I can't "save" the program on the current "drive' as it says it is write protected.

QUESTION 2:  How can I use the connected USB memory stick as a drive to write to, for example to use the SAVE command to save programs? OR any other way to SAVE to any volume in the emulator?

If there are other documents I should look at that explain this stuff, let me know, and I can help write some if that would be helpful.

THANKS
Eric

Not sure if the ones we published are the latest and if they have the USB memory stick option. Better check the info in the official repo for the Apple emulator here:
