I \
[alt load address] Option to load a file to a speci
fied address.
The LOAD command causes a file to be loaded into memory. The
starting address is contained in the first two bytes of the disk file (a
program file). In other words, the LOAD command always loads a file
into the same place it was saved from. This is very important in
machine language work, since few programs are completely relocat
able. The file is loaded into memory until the end of file (EOF) is
found.
EXAMPLE:
L "PROGRAM11^ Loads the file named PROGRAM from the
disk.
COMMAND: M
PURPOSE: To display memory as a hexadecimal and ASCII dump
within the specified address range.
SYNTAX: M [(address 1 >] [< address)]
(address 1 > First address of memory dump.
Optional. If omitted, one page is
displayed. The first byte is the
bank number to be displayed, the
next four bytes are the first
address to be displayed,
(address 2) Last address of memory dump.
Optional. If omitted, one page is
displayed. The first byte is the
bank number to be displayed, the
next four bytes are the ending
address to be displayed.
Memory is displayed in the following format:
>1A04841 E7 00AAAA00 98 56 45:A!.*..VE
Memory content may be edited using the screen editor. Move the
cursor to the data to be modified, type the desired correction and hit
(RETURN). If there is a bad RAM location or an attempt to modify
ROM has occurred, an error flag (?) is displayed. An ASCII dump of
the data is displayed in REVERSE (to contrast with other data dis
played on the screen) to the right of the hex data. When a character
is not printable, it is displayed as a reverse period (p). As with the dis
assembly command, paging down is accomplished by typing M and
(RETURN).
