I know Pick-a-Dilly has it, and EHBASIC has it.  (You'll know - the ProDOS 
signon says "SELEXTRA 1.0" under the splash.)  Qix has regular ProDOS 1.9.

The Sep. 1 version of 1.0 is on early versions of The Apple at Play and is 
14336 bytes long.  The Oct. 1 version, which I got from a versions 
collection, is 15,360 bytes same as 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 and does have the 
Selector, as does 1.0.1.  (*BASIC* lacks BYE, which it only got in version 
1.1.  So if you type BYE on BASIC.SYSTEM 1.0, it will say ?SYNTAX ERROR.)
