[Coco] CLOAD to LOAD help pls

[Arthur Flexser]

I can see no reason why CLOAD followed by SAVE (not using the Ascii save
option) shouldn't transfer that program okay so that it would run from disk.

What sort of error do you see at line 400?

Does running the program from cassette work okay with the disk controller
plugged in?

If you turn off the machine for 30 seconds or so to wipe the contents of
memory, and then load and run this from disk, is the ML code found to have
been moved to high memory successfully?  Can you exec the address (32027,
you said earlier) where it should be and have it execute properly?

Is there a CLEAR statement near the beginning of the program that protects
the area above 32027, like CLEAR 200, &H7D1B?
