In order to make the input of machine language programs easier, the DISK BASIC
has a monitor section following the
IOCS section. As the stack work area,
$FFOO

$FFFF (hexadecimal) are used.
This monitor,
in
the same way as the BASIC, has a built-in screen editor, and, by
using the editing format described below, any address of the main memory 64K bytes
can be rewritten.
