I am working on updating the ap_doc.do file with AsciiPixel image

Hey Ken, I know you're in the middle of updating the documentation,
but I figured I might as well share the minor changes I made to
ap_doc.do. Mainly I corrected the instructions for the Tandy 200, but
I also fixed the mouse cursor ascii art, and added a section on how to
detect if AsciiPixels is available.
Here's the patch:

The library is distributed as a standard .CO file that can be loaded
to the portable and installed using the LOADM BASIC instruction. Once
installed, the library is accessed by making CALL instructions to the
-base entry address (value depends on M100/T102 vs T200), passing in
+base entry address (value is the same on M100/T102 and T200), passing in
arguments in the A and HL registers to indicate the desired action.

2. Enter basic and execute the "CLEAR" command to move HIMEM so
there is room to load ASCPIX:
