I know PRWX/OSX3 have ways to execute programs in extended memory subject to some conditions, but what's the best way for a vanilla 41CL and a relatively novice 41CL user to save programs of their own into an enlarged space and execute them more or less at will? I have these ideas already:

a) The Extended memory approach above.
b) Hepax - create programs in Hepax ram and then save the Hepax page to a ram page then copy to a rom page. Plug the Hepax page in and execute your programs.

c) Some better way Angel may think about...

I'll definitely go for "b)" above. First, running stuff in X-Mem is very limited to the individual chunks of X-Mem - not across divides. Second, the OS is very picky about where X-Mem can be located, and the locations are hard-coded, so forget about using the upper RAM blocks...
