What are some ways we can improve SBTCVM for the v2.0.3 release?

The assembler requiring '|' as a separator is awkward to type, a bit awkward to read, and to be blunt, unnecessary. Space would work just as well.

Assembling from the launcher would be nice, perhaps by clicking on .tasm files. Perhaps they could appear in another folder tree. I guess it might be best if the assembler wrote its output to a file in this case, as well as displaying it. That way, the file could be opened in a text editor for copy/paste.

Or, of course, copy/paste in the various text fields would be very nice. (Shell, console, calculator...)

firstly, the assembler not to long ago got an alternate separator. (semicolon)
secondly, assembling from the launcher is doable in theory, particularly if we make the assembler log its output.
third, the textinput function is still incomplete, and pygame's clipboard support is experimental, and subject to break... so clipboard integration might take some extra dependencies.

Clipboard still a problem in the 21st century? sigh Perhaps other languages/libraries may have better support. I hope so.

Another idea: Some means of automatically checking assembler documentation against assembler code so they don't get so far out of sync. I might be able to provide a prototype for this.
