The next thing it does is call NGetTrapAddress with some other trap
and then compare the two returned addresses (he predicted, not
having looked at the code). Trap A89F is the standard unimplemented
trap, so if the address of any trap is the same as that for A89F,
there is no such trap. For example, _PopUpMenuSelect ($A80B) is
only implemented in System 4.1 or later, as is _InitProcMenu ($A808).
This is all covered in the August 1987 MacTutor.
