I am writing a program that uses a ML routine at $C000.  I know I have
seen programs that use LOAD statments to load other parts of the
program and then jumps off to them (boot programs, etc).  However,
when I have the program try to load the ML routine it seems to loop on
that line, ei. it LED on the drive keeps going on and off.  The
program is loaded because if I break and type in a RUN at the next
line the program will work fine.  The code looks like this:

    10 LOAD "ML PROG AT $C000",8,1
    20 POKE THE CIA REGS
    30 OTHER BASIC STUFF
    40 END

If I put a PRINT statement at line 20 it will never be hit.  Even
putting multiple statements on line 10 doesn't work.  The extra
statements never get hit.  

Does anyone out there know a trick to get this to work, or do I have
to load the ML through DATA statements?  Is the $C000 location the 
problem?
