Rob,

I can help a little with Question #2.  Here's what I've been able to
figure out about DesTerm overlays:

Load address:  $b000
Start address of code:  $b005
 
End the routine with an RTS.
 
Use the DesTerm "comp.ovl" file as a template for bytes $b000 - $b004.

I'm not sure how much room you have to play with, but it is at least
10 pages.  That's the size of "comp.ovl."
