What do you mean by doing it manually from the monitor?

I've been working on software for my Ace dual interface and it
requires me to switch in and out the expansion rom space in
order to work in 80-col mode. I've been executing do-nothing
routines in the $cnxx space to do the switching. Being
able to do the same thing by just referencing some location
there would be really nice. So I tried it from the monitor

cfff:0 n c200 c800l

(listing)

cfff:0 n c300 c800l

(another listing)

Both listings were the same, i.e. no switching was going on
(like I said, I'm familiar with what these listings look like
when the switching really does go on).

Another way?
