Yes, I did make rather liberal use of that, but keeping a table to jumps in 
each page of memory sure was a major PIMA.  IMO, comparing the 6809 to 
either the Z-80 or the 6502 stuff always gave me a headache, and the 
conclusion that despite their apparent popularity, both of them were quite 
severely drain bamaged.  Or was that Dane Bramaged?  Even the 1802 made far 
more sense.

Cheers, Gene
