By default, any file named `rom.bin` that exists in the same directory

ROM images can be loaded with the `-rom` argument when running
Symon from the command line. ROM images can also be swapped out at

This is Lee Davison's Enhanced 6502 BASIC.
To use this ROM image, just copy the file 'ehbasic.rom' into the directory

the ROM file will be automatically loaded at address $d000.
The EhBASIC ROM can be loaded either through the "File -> Load ROM..."

the "-jar" command line option when running Symon, for example:
`java -jar symon-1.3.2.jar -rom samples/ehbasic.rom`
Click the "Run" button and EhBASIC should automatically start running.

Then, type '49152' (without the quotes) when prompted for the memory size.
