Rename BASIC.SYSTEM to something like BASIC.  Technically the first
file in the root directory with a filename ending in .SYSTEM will be
the program loaded at boot but if you just keep one file with a
filename ending in .SYSTEM then you'll always know which file will be
started when you boot that disk.
