+** This function exploits the program-chaining feature in CBM BASIC's ROM.

+** the ML code exits, the BASIC ROM continues running the stub. But, it has
+** no more statements; so, the program stops.
+**
+** This function puts the desired program's name and device number into a LOAD
+** statement. Then, it points BASIC to that statement, so that the ROM will run
+** that statement after this program quits. The ROM will load the next program,
+** and will execute it (because the LOAD will be seen in a running program).

+** (Pet/CBM, VIC-20, and 64). The literal is overwritten by the next program
