This is normal, when you run a basic program, it tokenizes it so it can run
it. it makes it smaller and all that, and it does that on the first run.
after the first run, it stays that way till you edit it, then it
detokenizes so it can show it to you. when you edit a program, it is taken
out of the varlink table to make sure you don't rename/del/do anything else
stupid to it. other questions?
