Not sure if I misinterpreted that. I converted the hex to decimal and
called and poked as indicated but got nothing (literally, it just
froze... I thought that only happened to Windows.).

This one just gives me a screen full of garbage... 
After a bit (read: a lot) of fiddling I got to this:

	10 PRINT CHR$ (4) "PR#3"
	20 PRINT CHR$ (4) "BLOAD MY.PICTURE"
	30 HGR2
	40 GET GARBAGE$

...and this seems to works quite well, though even I can see it looks
wrong. I thought it might be a hardware problem that's causing the
weirdness, but unless the same thing is wrong with my //c and //e,
that's not it.  I tried a different 80 column card in the //e, but no
difference.
