no problem ofcoz :o) but it would for sure make sence. (a fully expanded 
vic20, including low and top memory bank, is actually a quite nice target...)

btw in that context,is it possible to place the stack and/or heap into a 
seperate section (i think it is, right? ;=))... would make lotta sence here 
to put stack into low, and heap into high memory or sth like that... (leaving 
all the usual basic mem for the actual program)
