You actually don't need to worry about resizing strings.  I haven't seen any
rom calls to do it (I actually doubt that there are calls to do so).  The 86
makes it easy, because there is so much free ram lying around!

Read in your level from the string to ram page 1 starting at $800b.  Edit
the level there, as you have almost 16k to work with.  Then when you are
done, delete your original string variable, then create the string again the
size of your level and copy it to that.  I doubt you'll have strings over
16k.  ;-)
