When I first started programming the Amiga I asked a similar question
of a local guru.  His response was, "Location $4 stores the value of
&ExecBase; all the other locations <1K store the same thing: Nothing
you should TOUCH!"  :-)

Seeing the number of programs that break under 2.0 due to this, I'm
glad I followed the advice.  Actually I had asked out of curiosity.
I'm so paranoid of writing code that will break under future OS's that
I try to forget any "European neat trix" that pop up on the net.
