It's all in the subject, but in case I'm not clear, I want to know if applesoft BASIC utilizes extra RAM in an apple //e, like if you have a 1mb RAM card.  I know at 128k, applesoft can't handle massive programs.

No. Pure Applesoft looks exactly the same on every 64k or higher machine. You could use the extra memory for a RAM disk, or build your own &-functions to access the memory from assembly. But Applesoft itself will never know it's there.
