You can do it providing you use the AppleSoft program to call a machine language subroutine! There's no way to do it with straight AppleSoft. Sorry. (But the code to do it with machine language is relatively simple).

That's right. You'll need to write something short and sweet that you can either 'BRUN' or 'BLOAD' then call. The info you need to write the binary file is in "ProDOS 8 Technical Reference Manual".
