It seems I erred. After posting the Sprite Help article, I went home and
experimented a little. It seems the old VIC II locations were valid in
BASIC 7.0 and my cries of dispair were for naught. I successfully operated
the sprites using the old 53248+ registers and the 2040+ registers for the
pointers.

But there is still the problem of defining the sprites from graphics using
SSHAPE and SPRSAV. For some reason, It still gave me one line of garbage at
the very bottom of each sprite I designed. I have the answer though, when
you SPRSAV A$,1   the sprite number 1's picture is located at pointer #56.
I just cleared out those locations first, then used SSHAPE and SPRSAV. It
worked, but there should be an easier way to clear out those sprites than that.
I tried sshaping a blank screen and sprsaving it (Giving hopefully a blank
sprite,) but it didnt work. 

Oh well, Live and Learn.
