Well, that depends the situation. Don't try to mess around with the
language card under ProDOS, because it is occupied by the operating
system.
Under Apple DOS 3.3 it might work if you have loded something mea-
ningful into the language card, because switching in a Language card
bank may switch out ROM, and therefore crash Applesoft BASIC.
Anyway more details are needed to answer this question fully.

Hope, it helps. What sort of progam is it? Isn't it described in the
Nibble issue concerned? Normally they put a 'How the program works'
section into the article. [And they write also, under which operating
system it should work].
