If that's true, why is BASIC.SYSTEM 10 KB in size and why has there been
multiple versions with bug fixes since it came out with ProDOS v1.0?  My
memory may be failing me here but I'm with Rob.  I thought that the
Applesoft ROM space got switched out and BASIC.SYSTEM was loaded into
the high part RAM.
