# On Loading

The program presented here creates a modified LOAD command. It moves the routines needed for the LOAD from ROM into RAM and adjusts them to work there. The routines are changed so that when the LOAD completes, machine language code from the 1 REM statement is executed. By changing statement 1, you can completely control what occurs after the LOAD.
