I recall the ads in Antic and Analog Computing Magazines.  I gave it a try recently.  Works fairly well.  Resides in the "Unused" 16KB memory section of the XL/XEs.  Good when a thought suddenly pops in your head.  Jot down a quick note, then instantly return to your work.  Works with word processors, what have you.  Has a mini-DOS so you can save those brilliant thoughts.  Handy when writing life's story.  "It was a stormy Spring night..."

an unused memory section sounds amusing-now everyone will have plenty more space to put their games and such there, I wonder what this secret unused 16K safe space is

You have to be a Freemason to learn about that.
