Well, I do not really understand what is tying you down from exactly doing
the same thing.
An IDE is useful but if you fancy doing things "the good old way" I can 
send you the (very simple) setup I use to develop small assembler code using 
Xbeeb. The .asm text is assembled with xa and then a small C-program converts
the binary in a format understood by Xbeeb than runs it via SHIFT-BREAK,
all very simple and easy to set-up.
Min you, the IDE is hundred (dozen?) times better and easier but if you happen
to like it the old way ....
