That is a brilliant idea!

If Basic$Prog was set to the required name, then adding a simple FNid
would add the name value to the code:
1 DIM code% 100
2 P% = code%
3 [
4 ; some other bits of your code
5 FNid ; Insert program name
6 ALIGN ; to next word boundary
7 ; some other bits of your code
8 ]
9 END
10
11 DEF FNid :REM insert program name at P%
12 SYS "XOS_ReadVarVal","Basic$Prog",P%,255,0,3 TO ,,L%
13 P% += L% :REM move ptr after name
14 = 0
