   I actually prefer to keep my ML saved in a separate file to BLOAD from. This   
   way I can pull this for multiple BASIC programs without duplicating the ML   
   each time. But... if I really wanted to have it all in 1 file without   
   restricting my ML or binary data    
   in any way, I would try doing something like this:   
      
   * ML to set BASIC program start pointer, fix any broken BRUN hooks, and JMP to   
   somewhere to start BASIC program execution.   
   * Your ML routines & binary data   
   * Your BASIC program   
   * BSAVE everything (L$ something like: BASIC end - BASIC start + ML/data   
   length)   
      
   This does restrict you from being able to RUN/LOAD/SAVE filename, but you'll   
   at least be able to BRUN it, and you won't have to worry about BASIC messing   
   up your ML when you edit, nor will it need to be relocatable. Once the BASIC   
   program start pointer    
   is set, you can RUN, LIST, and edit all you want. Of course you would have the   
   inconvenience of having to BSAVE each time you want to save your work. You   
   could have a BASIC line to do this for you. Just keep that line number out of   
   reach of normal    
   program execution, and you would RUN Ln# from the command prompt to save.   
   Either that or go though the trouble of making an ampersand routine if you   
   don't want to see or store a dedicated line for saving in your BASIC program.
