Seems to me that this could be easiliy handled by the compiler/assembler
(mine at least can do this from the command line), but I see the point.
OK rephrase: there should at least be a command-line or go-button driven
interface that asks no questions. But I am only a lowly hobbyist 16x84
user,
and I want to be able to compile/burn/run from a single command line.
Things
might be very different in a professional (non-hobby) production (large
number of OTP) evironment.
