[net.micro.apple] XOR lines

With a little experimenting, I've modified the line drawing routine
used by Applesoft. Believe it or not, it is VERY relocatable, so I
moved it to RAM and modified both the line draw and the plot routines
to be exclusive-or instead of destroying background. This allows you
to produce programs that use the 'rubber banding' effect that has become
so popular in user-friendly software as of late.

If there is call for it I will gladly post the modifications and instructions
unfortunately, one must poke in the arguments and do a call, but with a
little work, I may have so that it uses either the ampersand or the usr
commands (probably ampersand).
