Yes, the first byte of it's VAT entry will be $12.  I don't know
what the VAT entry for compiled assembly is.

It takes the hex codes and converts them to binary and
places them in asm_exec.  When it's done, it calls asm_exec.
Compiled programs are already in binary so the calculator
doesn't have to convert them as it's loading them into asm_exec.
