Thanks! This bit of code worked perfectly. One thing was strange. Whenever I loaded the first piece and tried to load the second I receive an out of memory error. I type NEW and then loaded the second piece. Perhaps this is the issue? No this is normal or if you prefer it is a normal Basic issue. Th...

I tried loading both the 6000 and the A000 in different orders. One thing was strange. Whenever I loaded the first piece and tried to load the second I rece...

Thanks. I was able to get it to run in my emulated environment. How about on the real VIC? How would I do it? Load both and then do a reset?

Purchased a Vic-20 on ebay and it has 2 red push buttons...
