<some code>
ld hl, SaveMemory
ld de, (PROGRAM_ADDR)
add hl, de
<some more code>


SaveMemory:
   .db "This game is saved",0


the first three lines of code cause hl to contain an address of the
location the the SaveMem .db in memory.  Then you can ld data into this
memory address, but keep in mind you are limited to the amout of memory
taken up by this when the program was compiled.
