Cool!  Too bad they only allow Basic and no native machine code.  I wonder... if your basic program were to call the mini-assembler in ROM (you can call rom routines) then would that count? ;-)  I know that the core mini-assembler would wipe out the basic program but you could always set up its pointers and call the internal parsers directly.  Then all you'd have to do is creatively copy each line into the text buffer at $200 (which could be done with some really clever peeks/pokes and using the memmove rom routine) and call the parser routine for miniasm.
