You don't actually put assembly statements in the program. You put the hex
codes they assemble to. I think you put them without spaces, and you can have
line breaks after any pair of hex digits if you wish.

If you want to assemble statements such as "ld a,4", you need to run an
assembler on your computer and transfer hex codes to your calculator. You can
get TASM for DOS from www.ticalc.org. There is probably a lot of other good
TI-86 assembly information there too.
