    For now I'm not converting any code generation logic.  Also not
messing with logic to handle errors as I'll be VERY satisfied if I can
get to the point that the 6502 program I create can simply parse valid
Turbo Pascal source text.  Because a single mnemonic instruction in
the starting source can become MANY 6502 mnemonics I'll be fortunate
if I don't run out of Apple RAM before I'm done.
