From the wording of Will's question, it is not 100% clear that he's really

if executing a "SET RL0 BADBLOCKS" as a command is ever required. The
answer to this question is NO since the question will automatically be asked
when the disk image is initially created.
If someone really wanted to preserve a previously created, but probably
empty disk image file and add a DEC144 bad block table to the last track of
the disk the "SET RL0 BADBLOCK" command would do that. A sequence
like this might be useful:
sim> ATTACH RL0 test.dsk
RL: creating new file
Overwrite last track? [N]
sim> SET RL0 BADBLOCK
Overwrite last track? [N]y

Mark,
I wasn't 100% clear on what I was asking :). Your answer, though, is
very helpful. I was wondering about the utility of the command.
Thanks,
Will
