A program that only runs in the immediate (= "not currently running a program")
mode??  Isn't that kinda self-contradictory??

At any rate, if you're running under P8's BASIC.SYSTEM, you can use the global
page location @ $BE42 (48706 dec) to find out what the state of the machine is;
if the value there is 0, you're in immediate mode, otherwise, you're in
deferred mode.

Hope that helps...
