There is a way to do this.  I saw it once in an old Softalk.  
Unfortunately, all my Apple II stuff is packed away is various places 
and I can't get to it right now.

Basically you stuffed the monitor command line in the keyboard buffer 
and CALLed the parser.

Anybody with a collection of old Softalks feel like trying to dig this
up?  I believe it was in Assembly Lines...
