Allowed you to load executable images into RAM and then edit memory and registers and view disassemblies and run parts and do single-stepping and such, usually. So that would be a nice and more to the point nicely similar way of doing it if it could load the files involved (I'd forgotten about it too). Might have a harder time with the more complex programs though.
(Also it was used for writing out COM files with tiny useful machine language programs from magazines, using simple hex input using mainly the e/r/w commands, IIRC; you'd use e starting at 100 hex, then set CX to the number of bytes to write using r, and then w with the filename, wasn't it… ?)
