Hm.  If I'm tacking into FPBASIC that might be a little tricky.

I came up with the further thought that I wonder how hard the toolbox is 
to work with if I want to make a simple app.  There's a couple particular 
ones I been thinking of.

If push comes to shove, I can try to "roll" the 65C02 space in and out 
when calling the toolbox, it would take a huge performance hit though.

My ideas are, like, this kind of stuff -

1. TTY I/O hook (e.g., for BASIC)
2. BASIC extensions on the & vector, possibly
3. Simple program launcher (DOS 3.3 and ProDOS)
