What's your [APF 1000] programming example, and how is it operating differently?

The programming example is a "Character Table Generator."  I've attached four screenshots taken from the APF Emulator (Version Apf_emuw.080418).  These pictures show that the programming example that I wrote in August/September 2009 works fine in an emulator.  All choices from the menu work.  The choices are:

1. All Characters ($00 - $FF)
2. Alphanumeric Characters ($00 - $7F)
3. Special Shape Characters ($80 - $FF)

On a real APF console, the menu comes up properly and choice number 1 works fine.  Choices two and three do not work.  If I recall, those choices blank the screen and that it all.

I'm reluctant to release the ROM (or the source code) because of the error.  I'd hate to have a non-working ROM-image (with source) floating around the Internet, as I know that once I release it, I'll never be able to put the genie back in the bottle.
