Thanks, Ron, for your great ideas. What do you think of storing data within the area of the first BASIC program, by overwriting some of it? Certainly the programs survive a cold-start; only the file directory (and various OS pointers/data structures) get explicitly reinitialized during startup. Since the data won't contain a triple null byte, and the first BASIC program never moves, it should be safe to put "garbage BASIC" inside the address space. :)
