I think I've said this before, but you do NOT need to specify the
variable type ($12). This would save one, maybe precious, byte:

 ld hl,progname-1
 rst 20h
 call _exec_assembly

progname:
 .db 8,"BlahBlah"

At least, you never had to do that on the TI-85, so I assume it's
not necessary on the 86 as well.
