[ stuff Andy said deleted ]

The Beta version of ProDOS did all sorts of interesting things.  I think
the neatest was that, if your program ran on to the hires page, it was
relocated around it when an "HGR" command was reached.  It also had some
weird bugs involving inverse text...

A lot of stuff got removed when the production version came out.  I don't
believe it works on 48K systems anymore... as Andy pointed out, it
would be pretty useless unless you had a specific application in mind.
