You can change the "HELLO" program any time by deleting the original "HELLO"
and saving the one you want to be the new one under the same name, "HELLO".
You can use any legal name with the INIT command, it doesnt have to be
"HELLO".  That's just a convention.  A good one though, you don't want to
forget what the name of your autostart program and maybe delete it by
accident.  Here in Hawaii, when I used an Apple ][+, I used the name "ALOHA"
for my INIT file.
