Writing in init is simple:

*
* Init sample code
*

init     start

* put init's code here

         rtl
         end

That was ORCA/M format code.  That is a complete, valid INIT that does
absolutely nothing.  Just insert your code in the middle.

Environment:

The data bank register is undefined, so you need to save it when your
INIT is called and restore it just before the RTL.  The Accumulator
contains your INIT's user ID.  The direct page register points to a
direct page you can use freely.

That's it.
