Along the same lines as this, but dealing with strings if you look at Dux's
game zblitz you will find that when you save your game as a string it will
not appear in the string location under the catalog/variables menu.  Nor
will it show up under the mem delete screen.  But look at the ram screen...
wow we have strings.  The reason for this is that dux created a string with
a char that you can't use for a header "!"  Everything is done the same
though in his code the only difference is that his string header is "!"  I
am not sure how you would do this for a program, however it can be done with
a string... thus i am sure you could do it.  Good luck!
Dave
