So catch command line input with your command processor,
if it doesn't match any of YOUR available commands, run
it through the basic.system processor (basic.system will
RTS back to your pre-processor, which then RTS back to
prodos command line blinker...
if it is a match to one of YOUR commands:
1)check if it is already resident in RAM. If it is, execute it
2)if not in RAM, load from disk, keep a flag that says
YOURcommand#x is loaded, and execute...
that would be nice... if you weren't using 5.25 disks,
you could put the command processor + loaded commands
into the disk II driver space at $d000
