9634 PAGE=

Submitted by Steve Fewell

Description:

Call routine &96B9 to Set BASIC Text Pointer B to BASIC Text Pointer A value, check that the next non-space character
is an "=", and issue 'Mistake' error if it isn't. Get Result of the expression at BASIC Text Pointer B. Check that the
statement terminates correctly (with a '<cr>', ':' or 'ELSE'), (issue 'Syntax error if not terminated correctly), and convert
the numeric result value to Integer (or issue 'Type mismatch' error if the value is a String).

Set PAGE (&18) to the Integer results MSB byte (&2B) (the LSB byte for page (&2A) is assumed to be '&00'.

Lastly, jump to &9005 to start processing the next program statement.
