Given a memory upgrade to 1 or 2 meg, one way you could get part way to your
wish of easy context switching is to load the several programs you want to
access conveniently on a RAMdisk.  Then loading one or the other is no big
deal.  Not quite as convenient as hopping back and forth between windows, but
MUCH better than loading from floppy.  I have been doing this on my 800XL for
the last year or so and it's not a bad start, anyway.  Sorry, I can't comment
on details of how this would work on a 520 but perhaps someone else on the net
can do so.
