I think that .ORG 0 is used by the compiler. It just tells the
compiler what the starting address of the program is. That way if
you want to do stuff with labels (Start:) the compiler will be able
to sub in numbers as addresses. ZShell knows that the string is a
ZShell program because of a byte in the files header that is added by
String85. I think the byte's value is 43h or something like that.
If you change this, it wont show up on the menu (good for putting
programs in the custom menu and not having them in ZShell).
As for the original question, I have no idea what is wrong.
