I haven't used tape to load a program since perhaps 1983 and certainly have forgotten what little I ever knew about it.Doh! Sorry, Steve(s). It was Nickolas.
LOL, I'm used to no one caring about my tired screeds... It was a bit in the header of a FPBASIC tape loader. The byte it's in goes into the "Every Command is Run" ZP address ($D6/214 according to ye olde charte) and is checked following a LOAD. (I think it's the third and final byte of the header, it's been awhile.)
