Yup.  The memory is fading, but I believe the locations were 103 and 104
decimal.  I think I had to POKE the new location, then run the program again
for DOS 3.3 to set itself up again.  So try something like:

10	NA=3073 : REM Hex $C01
20	POKE 103,NA-INT(NA/256)*256 : POKE 104,INT(NA/256)
30	?CHR$(4)"RUN PROGRAM"

This probably won't work with ProDOS 8.

I believe that ProDOS had the ability to run an Applesoft program at any
address by using the A parameter, (ie: RUN PROGRAM,A$C01), so that might
be worth a try.
