Just scanned through Kekoka's excellent dissection of the ROM routines.
Seems like system variable/register at address $ff7b contains the
relevant
Long range/Short range bit flag, ie. bit 0 toggles the IR range 0 =
Long,
1 = Short.
Could I define a word like this using C@ and C!?
: Set_Range_Long ( -- )
HEX
ffb7 C@ fffe AND ffb7 C! ;
Would this correctly toggle that bit?

That'd be really cool. I'm playing with Forth for the first time since
I found it in High School and messed w/ it a bit. A really cool Low
(yet somehow High...) level nitty gritty language.
Great work BTW, keep it up!
Puzzling out the multitasking stuff,
