I don't think that will quite work, because Chris is trying to call a 
tool call without using the tool dispatcher, so it is expecting space 
on the stack for an extra return address.  If you push/pull three extra 
bytes to account for that, this approach may work, but it's a hack.

Chris, I tried the code I posted and it worked, so I'm not sure why 
it's giving you problems (maybe issues with line endings?), but an 
alternative is to replace the "pea ret-1" instructions with:

lda	#ret-1  // or "lda #ret", if you changed the label location
pha
