.INBAY

 LDX #0                 \ This code is never run, but it takes up the same
 LDY #0                 \ number of bytes as the INBAY routine in the flight
 JSR &8888              \ code, so if the flight code *LOADs the docked code in
 JMP SCRAM              \ its own version of the INBAY routine, then execution
                        \ will fall through into the DOBEGIN routine below once
                        \ the docked binary has loaded
                        \
                        \ This enables the docked code to choose whether to load
                        \ the docked code and jump to DOBEGIN to restart the
                        \ game (in which case the flight code simply *LOADs the
                        \ docked code), or whether to dock with the space
                        \ station and continue the game (in which case the
                        \ flight code *RUNs the docked code, which has an
                        \ execution address of S% at the start of the docked
                        \ code, which contains a JMP DOENTRY instruction)
