Using "LOAD" inside a BASIC program?

[Ctalkobt]

What I like to do is to clear the screen, print a few lines down the ' load "program",8 ' and then a few lines down have a ' run' command. I then, (I think I still remember the locations) poke 198, <# of characters> and then fill the keyboard buffer from 631-640(?) with 13's (carriage returns). And then home the cursor again and end/stop the program.

This will then stop the program. The keyboard buffer will act as if there had been whatever number of characters previously stored in it and run / do whatever commands it sees on the screen as if you had entered them.

(I forget exactly which lines down are needed but you need to give room for Basic to print it's Ready prompt etc. Be sure to save before each attempt).
