It does not use the language card or any auxiliary memory. It was
tested (under emulation) on an Apple II, II+, unenhanced //e,
enhanced //e, and IIgs. On the II and II+ it auto-converts its help
text to uppercase, but otherwise functions identically. The loader
itself is loaded into pages $BA-$BE, and at various points during
loading it will use pages $BF, $B7-$B9, and $A0-$AF.
