Holy algorithm, Batman!  That is cool stuff.  Very excellent algorithm
design!  A few moot points to consider if you're a total perfectionist:

- Could it be possible to support arrow keys?

- Could it use mousetext for the display, since it's already singled
out to use 65c02, and thus mainly enhanced //'s anyway?

- Maybe make some boxes to uneditable (e.g. keep them hilighted) so
that the original numbers can remain unaltered.

Whether you even care about these suggestions is totally up to you. ;-)
 Awesome stuff, guys!  Keep up the great work!
