Strike that.  I had my "A-HA!" moment on positioning tonight (I think I was
making things overly complex for myself) and genuinely understand the six
digit score routine.  Thanks to the awesome archives, which I began reading
from the beginning, and this post in particular:
http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/199704/msg00137.html

Anyway, here's yet another implementation of the six digit score.  It's even
double-height!  I had 3 cycles to spare plus a WSYNC, just enough to
implement double height graphics.

It's pretty heavily commented, although I'm not sure how *well*.  The
easiest things to edit are the addScore and frameDelay constants, but feel
free to tweak and critique it.  Especially my BCD math and pointer
calculations since I'm also a n00b to 6502 programming in general.

Thanks, everyone.
