Right, you could do this on a C64 also and probably

was just a convenient means of storage -- execution of arbitrary ML was
still permitted by the interpreter. The MK-85 hack is noteworthy because it
allows you to run stuff on the CPU even though the BASIC supposedly doesn't
let you (no CALL, SYS, USR(), etc).
Yes, the one I'm remembering was similar to that - I wish I could remember
more, but it was entered via some function which had a utterly different
purpose during normal use, but invoked in a certain way it could be used to
run sequences of MC.
Dave's message rings a bell though, in that I think the actual MC data was
encoded into a character string (possibly as a REM statement, but I can't be
sure).
If my memory coughs up the name of the system I'll shout :-)
