You "cd" into an image :-)

open 15,10,15,"cd:myimage.d64":close15

When you want to go back:

open15,10,15,"cd<-":close15:rem use the CBM backarrow key

or
open15,10,15,"cd//":close15

The unit uses CMD-style directory conventions.  Of course, those who use 
their machine to any extent use a DOS Wedge, so the above is:

@cd:myimage.d64

and so on.

Parts came tonight, so I am soldering one up now.

I hope to take a working unit to the World of Commodore this weekend in 
Toronto.
