I've been trying to save an object file to a blank disk with Merlin Assembler, and nothing that I have tried seems to work.

I have tried putting the DSK command at the beginning of my assembly language program:

         DSK       FILENAME

and then type ASM at the assembly prompt (after quitting my program with Alt-Q (Open Apple-Q))

I have tried save:

         SAV       FILENAME[S6,D2]

with a blank disk in drive 2,
and then typing ASM at the prompt

I have tried doing the above options, and then going back to the menu, and put a blank disk in drive 1 (for the former) or a blank disk in drive 2, but Sometimes I get "VOLUME FULL" sometimes I get "VOLUME NOT FOUND".. I have tried using the 2nd Merlin disk to do this and sometimes nothing happens, as if there is success, but no matter which method I try, if I load up ProDOS and then put the disk in drive 1 and type "CATALOG" the object file does not appear anywhere.

Would someone tell me the steps to save an object file, and also a source file, to a disk OTHER than the Merlin Assembler disk?
