One of the LS Pascal example programs (I think this is in the editor example,
but don't have a copy of it handy) showed how to do this.  I tried
putting the code into a Turbo Pascal program that I wanted to add
a transfer to, and it worked fine.  You use about 10 lines of setup that
puts the appropriate data on the stack by passing it to a dummy
subroutine, and a subroutine that consists of an inline statement.
