no the hex (4321C9) that l made up there is what you would use for the Exec
command.  You would make your source code, run it through an assembler, and if
it gives you the pure hex code then you could somehow make that into a string
var.  If the code you had was in a string var called  A , then you could
probably do  Exec A  to run you asm program.
