That's the commodity which controls the various options, such as 
converting Amiga text files (with only LF) to IBM text files (wiht LF+CR) 
and such. If the options are shaded out, that means the PC0 device isn't 
mounted.

Yup, you haven't mounted the device. Are you mounting it manually, or do 
you want to have it set up every time you boot?

If you don't have the PC0 icon in devs/dosdrivers, which I suspect you 
don't, you have to mount the device manually when you want it. You do 
this by double-clicking on the icon PC0, which should be located in 
storage/dosdrivers. I think you might have been double-clicking on the 
CrossDos icon, in tools/commodities, instead. That doesn't mount the
device.

If you want PC0 to always be available, move the icon to devs/dosdrivers.
