Hello everyone that asked about DesTerm overlays and stuff: Well, what can I tell you? The overlays load at $1B000 (ie $B000 in bank 1). They can be 16K long, but you have to watch out for the $D000-$DFFF block. I do have a 'mini kernal jump table' that can be used. The basic idea is that you stuff register A with the function and call a fixed memory location that will do all sorts of things for you like switch banks and the like. I'll create a file with the function numbers/parameter and maybe even a small example file. You can even wedge into the DesTerm interrupt routine (I did write a game 'solitaire' that you could play while you were still in DesTerm...) As for kermit -- I have the docs and I am working on writing it as a DesTerm overlay...
