If it's not too difficult or memory-consuming, a feature I would like to see 
in Usgard is a way to execute ASM programs from TI-BASIC. A feature similar to 
that in Ulterior Motive for ZShell. It could work with interrupts, so that you 
could store the name of the ASM string to execute to another string variable, 
and it would execute.

One big use of this I see is people writing most of their program in TI-BASIC, 
but certain routines using ASM that cannot be done in BASIC or are too slow in 
BASIC. With this feature built into Usgard, the user doesn't have to struggle 
with installing it along with the TI-BASIC program; the user just sends the 
BASIC program and the strings, and it will run.
