   What is 631? Google says "Secondary addresses assigned to files", which   
   isn't helpful for me.   
      
   Is this time critical? Like for the interrupt vectors my POKEs often   
   crashed the computer. Because after poking the first value (high byte),   
   the C64 might already have checked the addresses of the interrupt vector   
   again and branched, before the slow BASIC poked the low byte to this   
   interrupt vector. Thus likely jumping to an area in memory filled with   
   garbage.
