OK, I tried CLOADM on all the sounds on the tape with no result.
But then I thought.  The COPY command doesn't do anything but CSAVE
the already loaded BASIC Program to a new tape, so, no ML stored
on there.

But, here;s another thought.
Didn't Tandy have a serial networking system for
classrooms that allowed downloading programs to student computers?
Was it built into the ROM?  Could this be using it?
