Concerning your rewrite of the Appts program and subroutines:
I expect that your program works as well as those you have posted in
the past.  The rewrite is well-documented except in one regard  -
the checksum and bytes for the variables (subprograms) in the in
APDIR doesn't exist.  You gave the checksum for the entire directory.
We will know if we made a mistake, but checking where can be a royal
pain to those that do not have a serial cable yet.  Could you please
post the checksums and bytes for the variables stored in APDIR.  Thanks.

One further question - In the  REFRESH routine you have the code segment

Dy ADR + 7 / FP 7 * 3 * 6 * 1 - 'COL' STO

Is there any reason for the repeated multiplications as written it appears
that it could be rewritten as

Dy ADR + 7 / FP 126 * 1 - 'COL' STO

I could not fathom a reason for having it with the repeated multiplications.
