This is my first major programming project in years, and it

shows in many ways.  However, as the saying goes, "it gets me

The name PageSix doesn't signify anything at all in the context

programming heritage.  In the 8-bit Atari computers, page 6 was 





18

the area of memory where user machine language/assembly language





19

programs resided.
