Ok, first, I think you need to define your memory location
as A$xxxx as HEX. You should anyway. Also, on a BLOAD the
file that you have previously BSAVE'd will contain a few bytes
header with the location to be BLOAD'd into. No need to define
this location on a BLOAD. Now getting down to the base of your
problem. If you wish to poke data into the screen area, the best
way will be to first transfer the screen area to memory that is
free for use. Then, BSAVE it. Now to BLOAD it, then transfer it
back to screen area with code. I believe you can also load screen
data into another page of memory and redefine that area as the
new screen area, not sure though. Anyone???

: I wonder if it's emulator specific, and I ought to get a set of
: ProDOS masters for my actual IIe and try it out.

No, not really. If the emulator is setup properly it should work
exactly the same as the real Apple II, although I have heard a
lot of complaints that certain things will work on real Apple IIs
and not in emulators and vice-versa.

: Hmmn!

I agree wholeheartedly. Apple IIs are fun though.
