so really my *save 

should be *save chuckie <load>+<length> <exec>

thus saving from the load adress for a set length of chuckie filled memory
with a exec adress stuck in on the end.

does that make sense?  i *load a game which loads it at its load adress but
doesn't execute it  but the *opt1,2 that i typed before loading causes the
hex information to be displayed

i then save as above thus saving the correct lump of memory with the correct
load address and exec address 

eeerrrm just got to work out which is which

OK, so I've just got back this morning, and noticed that my reply actually
suggested a THIRD order instead of confirming or denying either of the other
two!  I nominate myself for "Least Helpful Follow-up 2001".

I actually think it IS the order I described above though... but before I go
confusing things even more, I'm just gonna shut up...
