This new ROM has quite a few noticeable changes from the user perspective:

* Added ABS and ARG in the corresponding key.
* Added UPDIR in Left-Shift UP (cursor key). This works even when inside the editor, so you can navigate directories while typing text.
* Added HOME to Left-Shift-Hold UP (as a natural extension of UPDIR)
* Added BEGIN and END to Left-Shift Left and right respectively. These only work in the editor to mark the selection.
* Added COPY and PASTE to Left-Shift-Hold Left and Left-Shift-Hold Right respectively. These work not only for the editor, but also in the stack. You can COPY any object to the clipboard, and you can paste text or objects into the stack or the editor.

Also fixed a bug in the compiler that was triggered on rare occasions.

Known bugs:
After I posted I discovered a bug, when the end of selection is the end of the text, and a newline is added to the end, it displays some garbled characters.
I'm sure there will be other bugs, I'm counting on you to help me clear them.

EDIT: BTW, it also adds that extra line of pixels to the black menu. It was done in gray because it cannot be inverted, not sure if it looks right.

I must admit that mapping the updir to the up key and "begin/end" to the left and right key is a good idea! Very intuitive.

Thank you!

BTW this time the update went without a glitch, no need to erase memory.
