Good call - my logic was out with that statement especially in
relation to the compiled vs interpreted comments.

My original reply assumed (and on consideration you probably didn't intend
to imply that assumption) that the person entering the instruction was
also responsible for implementing it but in any case the point I was
making does not seem to be directly relevant to your (consistent and
correct) comment that ultimately only one instruction is required.
