HOW DOES THIS WORK??

Hi all
I found this in Sinclair User, it works on a real zeddy so it should also work on an emulator. Does anyone know how it does it?
Here it is as written....
"Here is a way you can use NEW and OLD statements on the 16k ZX-81 in a similar way to the BBC computer:
Load or type in a program on your ZX-81.
To NEW the program,type POKE 16509,100 (newline). this, seemingly, will NEW the program.
To retrieve POKE 16509,0 (newline). This may be useful if You are playing a game or writing a program and You have to interrupt it to write a small program - to total Your shopping list, for example.
It is important to delete Your shopping list program or whatever without using NEW before attempting to retrieve the original program."
Would love to know the answer!!
Regards Moggy
