These are not ROM calls, but are system RAM addresses (hence the filename
"ram86.inc"). I'm not sure what most of them do.
The _alt_on_exec, _alt_off_exec, etc. areas are run when the calc is turned
on, off, etc., with a checksum byte before it.
The asap aliases are for user defined functions, see the program
"asapinv.asm" that was posted here a while ago.
