I was looking into how BASIC tokenizes each line to save space. I'm searching
for what is probably an easy answer, but I'm stuck.
The first two bytes of every line of takenized basic code are the low and high
bytes to the address of the next line of code. But to my eyes, it appears that
these bytes get changed when a file is loaded from disk into memory. This makes
sense since the address would change based upon how many other programs are in
memory at the time it is loaded. Do these address bytes serve any purpose other
that file size fillers when a file gets saved? I ask because I can't see a use
for saving these bytes since they seem to be over-written when a file is loaded.
