I will agree with RETRO Inovations that in addition to the option of rewriting the menu program to read data from the EEPROM, it would be easy to avoid using blocks 2 and 3 or relocate the data stored there to allow the menu to be bigger. If fact once you empty banks 2 and 3 you could edit line 150 in PRGFLASH.BAS. There you will currently find:

150 B=2:PRINT "SEARCHING FOR AN EMPTY";K;"K":PRINT "SPACE...";:'START CHECK AT BANK 2, BANKS 0 AND 1 ARE FOR THE MENU

So to reserve banks 2 and 3 also, edit it like this...

150 B=4:PRINT "SEARCHING FOR AN EMPTY";K;"K":PRINT "SPACE...";:'START CHECK AT BANK 4, BANKS 0 - 3 ARE FOR THE MENU
