  Here's a quick workup that seems to do the job:

  test$ = "0123456789"
  temp$ = SPACE$(10)

  source% = SADD(test$)
  work% = SADD(temp$)
  PRINT "Original  : "; test$
  r% = 9
  FOR x% = 0 TO 9
    t% = PEEK(source% + x%)
    POKE work% + r%, t%
    r% = r% - 1
  NEXT x%
  test$ = temp$
  PRINT "Changed to: "; test$
