Certainly not an easy way.  It could be done by writing a program
which used the RWTS sector read call to read the directory, locate the
ProDOS file, read the index block, and read each block of the file into
memory, then set up the locations required for it to work properly and
jump to it.

What symptoms do you get?  Does the drive just spin?  Do you get a
"RELOCATION/CONFIGURATION ERROR" or "UNABLE TO LOAD PRODOS" error?
