Here's my sort-of solution (via Pastie because it's longish):

I started cleaning it up a bit today, but ran out of time.  There's  
still a lot more that could be done.

It also has a pretty big bug in it.  My simple stack solution for  
GOTO, GOSUB, and FOR doesn't really work.  It looked like it worked  
most of the way through the code because, GOTO's and GOSUB's only  
appear on their own lines or at the end of a compound instruction.   
The FOR loop at the end isn't like that though, and my interpreter  
doesn't really run it 10 times because it cannot resume into the  
middle of a compound instruction line.  Drat, foiled again.

I did have a ton of fun playing with this problem.  Thanks again to  
the organizers for a great problem!
