Summary: Where do you specify FAST or CHIP memory?

After reading the Bantam 1.2 manual, I decided to write a program that
set the bits to specify that hunks were to be loaded into a particular
area in memory. ie CHIP, FAST, or EITHER.  After writing the program, and
testing it, I found that the programs which I modified loaded did not
load any differently than they had previously.  The way I understood the
book was: to specify CHIP memory, set bit 29 of the hunk label, for fast memory,
set bit 30, and leave both unset for either.

Is this correct?  What might I have done wrong?  I know that these bits were
set, and the program still loaded and ran.

Thanks, I don't know what I would do without this newsgroup!!!
