Instructions

Download and unzip the original DSK file. The zip file contains FirstScreening.dsk (which is in DOS 3.3 format, which the original was in); FirstScreening.po (in ProDOS format) and FirstScreeningBybpNichol.txt, which is a text file of the source code.
Apple ][js by Will Scullin, a JavaScript emulator of the Apple IIe, is nice cuz it runs in the browser on PC, Mac, Linux, etc.
Click the "Load" button,
click "Choose File",
and navigate to FirstScreening.dsk.
Select FirstScreening.dsk,
click OK,
and then click "Load".
That should start First Screening. If it doesn't, type
```
RUN FIRST SCREENING
```
at the command line.
When First Screening halts, you are given instructions on how to run "Off-Screen Romance". Try any of these:
```
RUN  1748
RUN 1748-
GOSUB 1748
GOSUB 1748-
GOSUB 1600
```

Alternatively, Download and unzip the Applewin emulator if you are on a PC, or do an Internet search of 'emulator' and 'Apple IIe' and pick a different emulator.
Run the Applewin.exe emulator.
Click the icon.
Navigate to FirstScreening.dsk (or FirstScreening.po) and double-click it .
Click the button.
If it does not start by itself, type
```
RUN FIRST SCREENING
```
and press the “Enter” key.
