I'm going to write whatever the voting says and right now 90% of voters
want modules.

I took a quick look at it, nothing really wrong with it.  I'll take a
better look.

Yeah, a month ago I wrote a version of AShell that does a very pre-beta
of module support. I made a PutSprite module and it worked, and I did a
module that just waits for key input, but for some reason a module for
prog-write-back just wouldnt work.  I'll have to recheck all of my code,
but knowing where the iy flags are can still be useful.
