FPL only redirects ints while it is running a program. This is the only 
really save way to prevent errors from crashing your calc. Programs may
even abort with memory allocated. FPL will ask you whether to free it.
If you don't want to execute FPL from FBrowser, you can rename it to
shell, and it will then be executed when you press Shift+On.

It will be inpossible unless the ROM function for executing basic files
is found.
