It's not necessary to type "INT" to run an Integer Basic program!  If
you're in Applesoft Basic, and then LOAD or RUN an Integer Basic program,
DOS should automatically switch language to Integer Basic!

FYI: Integer Basic _is_ Apple Basic.  In the very early days of the
APple II, before Applesoft Basic was available, Integer Basic was
simply called "Apple Basic".  And Applesoft Basic is really a verison
of Microsoft Basic....
