yes thats true

yep...using the tokenized line in the buffer after run has several disadvantages

- you need to detokinize everything into a second buffer before beeing able to use it
- the commandline will be limited to ~70 characters
- it wont work when your program ends after ~$9ffe (dont remember exactly)
