I am using Fig-Forth on an Apple.  From what I can make of the documentation,
I should be able to use the built in word "DR1" in some fashion to make
the computer access disk drive one (as opposed to drive zero).
The word is known to the system; it doesn't give any errors if I compile
it into a definition.  I'm not sure exactly how it's supposed to be used.
Would you mail me *one* correct example of how to get the computer to 
access drive one?  Everything I've come up with so far has failed.

thanks,
tim born
