I have a need to get a ProDos/16 binary (type $B3) launched from within
ProDos/8 basic.  I know one can't do it directly with a PRINT
D$;"-NEWPROGRAM" (I've tried.)  There is, however, supposed to be an
extension to the ProDos/8 MLI quit call that allows one to give the
pathname of the next application.  I can't find it documented in any of
the books I can find in the bookstore.  Does anyone know exactly what
the calling sequence and parameter list for it is?

(Dave Lyons recently gave me the form for a quit with no path specified
-- it was something like
 jsr prodos
 65
 loc parmlist

 where parmlist had
 04 00 00 00 00 00 00

I assume the extension involves some change to the parmlist, but I don't
want to try to guess what it might be -- it doesn't sound like just
replacing the 0's with a pathname would do!)
