    I can't find anything in the documentation to show how to setup a location for storing basic files on a Mac. I have no issues doing so on my Windows 10 Laptop.

      The procedure for Mac is the same as for other operating systems (except Windows). See the section on accessing your drives. For example, 

      pcbasic --mount=C:/Users/me/

      on the Terminal will run PC-BASIC and mount the home directory /Users/me as the C: drive in PC-BASIC. You can then access files there from PC-BASIC with a command like LOAD "C:PROGRAM.BAS".

      Hope this helps - if you run into further issues, please specify exactly what it is you're trying to do (including explicit paths and the exact commands you're using) and what response you get, and I can help you further.
