	Isn't it possible to "mark" it in some way so that P8 doesn't step on
it?  I recall seeing a init that promises to keep all the tools in ram even
when you jump to P8 and back.  Couldn't something like this be done when GNO
sees a "goto P8".
	Could it be feasible to have GNO run an "emulator" that "emulates" an
Apple 2, so that GNO users can use P8 programs under GNO, since the reason you
said GNO and P8 can't coexist together cos they use the same RAM space.  I
suppose it would be a lot of work tho huh?
	Oh yeah, is v1.1 out yet?  And what are the new features?  Ciao.
