ASSEM 10
where 10 is the BASIC line number at which the code will appear.
On pressing the return key the screen will clear and the prompt :
Assemble >
Will appear at the bottom of the screen. You are now in assemble mode !
The MTX will no longer respond to BASIC commands such as LIST or RUN but
instead expects one of the assembler commands:
L. - List T - Top of program
E - Edit Insert (by default)
Creating a Program.
To start writing your program press the RET key. The word "Insert" will appear at the
bottom of the screen.
A few lines higher up a 4 digit hex number representing the memory location to which
the next instruction will be assigned, the flashing cursory and the instruction RET
appears.
Press the EOL key on the cursor control keypad to get rid of the current instruction
and enter your own.
When you have typed and edited your assembler line press the RET key. The line you
have just typed in will disappear into memory and the next line will appear ready for
another assembler mnemonic.
When you have finished writing your program press CLS on the cursor control keypad
followed by RET. The Assemble prompt should re-appear.
At this point you may wish to list your program out on screen. Press T and RET to set
the program location pointer to the top of the program followed by L and RET to list
out the program.
If your program is more than can be displayed on one screen then after the first
screen has been presented a bell will ring and the listing will stop. To continue the
listing press any of the keys on the main key board. Should you want to stop the listing
then press the BRK key on the cursor control key pad.
When the listing is finished the assembler is again ready to accept another command,
ie. the Assemble prompt appears at the bottom of the screen.
In the following program the data stored in the five bytes starting at DATA are
transferred to the five bytes starting at COPY.
