Indeed this might help. The 359,57 was good for several things, e.g.
preventing from doing a SCREEN 0 after each OK. It can be restored by
placing  a JMP again (POKE359,126). AFAIR a 359,57 will disable the
SOUND timer so a SOUND command will last forever. There were some
disadvantages for disc IO too, I think it will stop automatically
CLOSEing files.
