you have to read the memo line by line - and you have to write somesort of interperter so you can handle
loops, IFs etc.
I believe I heard someone made such an interperter in the past and it may be available somewhere on the web

usually - you can't copy into a prg because you will not be able to compile it in an EXE

if you ask me - the whole idea of resolving complete programs at run-time is not a very good one
