that's what macros are for.

from the source to dump:

#define prat(xx,yy) ld hl,xx \ ld (_penCol),hl \ ld hl,yy \ call _vputs

...
        prat($0720,romdone)
...

romdone: .db "Done",0

(btw, that's for PRint AT)

this should be built in to your assembler, use this feature at your own
convenience in your own programs.  notice that even c++ has these little
guys.
