   The entry point for TEXT is 24046 (5DEEH).  I know that it is possible
to change the menu/exit key somehow to return to BASIC, but I am not sure
how.  Some programs (such as X-Tel) do this.  To pass the filename to the
editor, you can put the filename characters in the keyboard buffer (by
POKing them to the appropriate locations).  I'm not sure where the keyboard
buffer is located offhand, but try one of the many list-of-pokes list
that you find lying around CompuServe, etc.
