LIST when appearing in programs is actually still tokenised [token &C9].
So a tokeniser/detokeniser is not needed.

When running a program, BASIC checks the Memory PAGE that the code is running 
from, if it is &07 (Command Line) [&0700-&07FF], commands &C6 and above 
are executed, if a program is running, commands greater than or equal to
&CF are executed - all other commands are treated as a variable name - which
would result in Syntax Error for token &C9!

There doesn't seem to be a way to hack BASIC or to trick it into executing
token &C9 while running a program!

Command Line only tokens are as follows:
C6
