Comments

This routine (similar to NewContext0) puts away the current app, loads the context vectors for a particular builtin app, and calls the appropriate initialization code.

Unlike NewContext0, this routine saves and restores the current page in port 6 regardless of the app selected (this saving and restoring is not necessary if you're B_CALLing the routine, but might be useful if you're B_JUMPing to it for some reason.) It also sets (kbdKey) to zero.
