[Blindapple] switching disks

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,

I was referring to deleting the saved state file. In the directory where 
mess.exe is located, there's a subdirectory called sta, and in there is 
one called apple2ee. In that directory is a state file with the filename 
of the single character you use, and an extension. To keep things clean, 
I always go in and delete saved states when I'm through with them.

Hope this helps,

Jayson
