It all looks alright to me.  The only thing, tho, is that when you are
setting up the coords by loading values into hl and then into (pencol) you
are (I assume since every one is 4 digits, even the ones with leading
zeros) using hex, not decimal.  If this is true, then put a $ before the
number or an h after the number.  Otherwise the compiler won't read it as
hexadecimal.
