quotation mark, home, quotation mark will write an inverted S between
two quotation marks. By moving the cursor and using space to erase the
left quotation mark, and moving the cursor again to the right of the
inverted S, and typing shift+Y and any reasonable address to jump to,
and then return, it will execute a SYS.

(It of course requires some machine code to execute, my idea here is to
use screen ram as that seems to be the only way we could enter data in
memory using the joystick ports. It will of course be a challenge to
write some useful machine code with only the the instructions available
using the chars that we can type).
