   This is not mentioned anywhere in the manual for Orca/M, and it
really bugged me the first few times I ran into it. The only thing I've 
found is to hardcode the MVN myself doing things like:

     lda #$0ffe
     ldy #$2000
     ldx#$1000
     dc h'44 01 01'

  or:
     lda #Locs   ;Banks to move things around
     sta MVPLoc+1

     ...
MVPLoc mvp $01,$01

   
   I've goten so used to doing this that I haven't bugged Mike Westerfield
and seen what his excuse of the day for this one is.
