The CLEANTMP junk isn't really necessary as far as I can tell....

Right here the input is stored into a string.  The name of this string is in 
OP1.

So if you wanted to load the input, you could do so like this:

    rst 10h     ;_findsym
    call _DATA_SIZE_TO_DE    ;_get_word_size or something in old ACZ includese
    call _load_ram_ahl
;hl points to start of string input.
