It is not, perhaps Open() would be better?

But at that stage, appropriate value
for SB is not know yet. It is known when the code size is known, i.e.
after compilation, when pc = code size.

Currently I deposit it as the last instruction, but I write it to the
file as the very first. (does not affect execution in RISC.Mod)

Now thinking about putting it in Open(), or Header()
Then would need somehow to fixup the SB value in the instruction field,
after Close(). 

Not sure, am I close?
