Hallo Rhialto, Spiro,

Thanks for answering. I know how it generally works, just like the story
Rhialto works. Unfortunately I'm a hairsplitter in this case and I need the
details.

The above part describes the part in the code where I stuck. To be exactly:
I stuck at $F2E9. 
After some studying yesterday evening, my intuition says the program resumes
at $F2F9. The subroutine at $F393 transforms $E0 into $60 for the variable
JOB/$45. At $F3F7 JOB is cheked on #$60, true, so it "execute memory"
subroutine at $F36E is called. This routine adds 3 to JOBN/$3F. Remember:

>  STA  JOBSZP+3	; transmit
               ^
               |
JOBN contains the value 3 so the result is 6. This ends up executing the
program at $0600. If this is correct, then the main question is:

---  What is the initial value of DRVST / $20 as this seems the key of my
problem ??? ---

For Spiro:

Das solltest du jetzt schon wissen :)

Please do, especially those regarding DRVST. Many thanks.
