That's exactly what had to be done in at least one case:    Key-264K made 
full use of the
64k environment in Basic, by adding 15 more commands.  It required  having 
prime 64k
chips, not the piggybacked 32k variety.  I still have  the Key-264K program 
on tape (came
on disk as well), but unfortunately the author seems to want to keep the  
program out of
further circulation.  too bad for those of us who might be  interested.  
Perhaps if enough
Coco-ers tried writing to the author he'd be responsive...?  
 
For more on what Key-264k could do, check out Key Color Software  advertising 
in mid-
'80s Rainbow magazines.
