you could always create a new BASIC program from within your asm program,
run it with _parseInp (i think thats what it's called) and have it input a
number for variable X or whatever.  The only problem would be the error
handlers, but I suppose you could install and error handler before you ran
the BASIC program.  Then just recall X to op1 and you have your floating
point number.
*shrug* BASIC does have _some_ use every now and then
