 BASIC is switched out, Kernal is still switched in, so anything BASIC uses can
be reallocated.  Having it all be contiguous so I can go in and out of BASIC is
important too.

On a C64, the BASIC ROM uses ZP addresses $02-$8F, but you can use kernal ZP
locations you don't need in your program.  For example, $83-$8B and $AE-$B6 are
used for tape and RS232 and $F7-$FF are for RS232 and free space.  Does this
help?
