[Coco] Programs larger than 32K?

[William Astle]

On a standard Disk Basic system after a cold start, it is, roughly. The 
second poke shoudln't be required (NEW should do that for you). If you 
dig up the right PEEKs, you can potentially do a bit better by putting 
the program immediately above the Disk buffers.

If you use this technique, just make sure you don't accidentally try to 
do any PMODE graphics commands or you'll clobber your program.
