I saw this .sig in a post elsewhere on USENET ... got a chuckle out of it
so I though I'd share it with other Apple II folks ...

For those who aren't Apple hackers (or those who simply don't usually memorize
Monitor addresses), $FC58 is the monitor address for the HOME routine which 
clears the text screen.  $FF69 is the monitor address for entering the monitor
(you know, the * prompt ....).  I had to look up $A56E, as it's a DOS 3.3
address for the CATALOG routine (It's been years ...).
