Yes, you can scan the listings but you can't just run them from that.
BASIC keywords are stored as single bytes and they are printed from a
list of the commands within the computer during a list.  You would have
to write a small program that prints the line on the screen, puts GOTOxx
on the next logical line and then move the cursor up, put a couple of
RETURNs (CHR$(13)s) in the buffer (631-640,198) and then stop the program.
The computer would then hit RETURN twice, once entering the new line and
the second time rerunning the program to do the next line.  Anyone who has
seen D-Blitz run knows what I am talking about.
