Yes, you can modify ProLine without MD-BASIC, but it is rather difficult
to do.  You have to deal directly with AppleSoft programs.  Emphasis on
the plural.  They appear to be all sequentially numbered (you know, 1, 2,
3, etc.) so you'll need some tools to make it easier.  I'm going to try
putting them in text files and editing them that way, then EXECing the
diffs back.

Again, MD-BASIC is not required either to run or modify ProLine, but it is
strongly suggested.
