This part is all done and tested out. I had also put HSCRN in place of
WAIT, but decided WAIT was more useful.

Really?  I have never seen a good use for WAIT that couldn't be
programmed in one line of Applesoft if actually needed.

HSCRN (which I assume reads the Hi-Res screen) is much more useful,
though I generally do it with a one-dot shape table and an XDRAW AT,
followed by an examination of the collision counter.  If tucked
away in a GOSUB routine and not used so frequently that performance
becomes an issue, it is compact and effective.
