Actually, all you have to do is prepend your program with a
PRINT CHR$(4);"BLOAD " before compiling.  It IS annoying,
though, because:
	1) you have to compile a (slightly) different version of your
		program than the one you tested
	2) you have to copy the  file to any disk you want to
		run your compiled program off of.
Actually, I think I am going to take a crack at designing a Nice operating
system for apple over the next few weeks/months.  You know, every time you
want to run a new program just about, you reboot the system, which is silly,
and every program has its own data format, which is silly (& incompatible),
etc.
