I am aware of the trailing bytes in the text screen interleaf of course. I have never thought of them as screen holes since my use of the MS-DOS LN65 linker created holes in screen memory. So what is perfectly clear to me is perfectly clear to me... Screen segments don't properly describe a hole in a program over screen memory in Aztec C65 since the Aztec C documentation calls them holes. They also call them reserved areas. They will never split a segment. You can have up to 4 of them, whatever they are:) I am still working with Payton's suggestion but I don't think it will give me what I have been used-to. cc65 will give me much smaller code and quicker for calls. For file I/O about the same since that is OS dependent. cc65 is slightly faster for inline assembly, but since MS-DOS is almost dead, cool linker features may soon not have much value outside DosBOX and other MS-DOS emulators.
