Mostly. > How do you display register values from the assembler? For the most part I don't. I do store a register in a particular temporary address sometimes. A list of important variables and their values are squirted to a file when the assembler has finished. I also tend to use conditional swi 256+7 to find out where code is getting to. > How do you display blocks of storage? !SpyGlass or !StrongED. I'm sure I know what you're going to say. I should be using Reporter. I don't want to come across as a moaner but my honest problem is I'm not the sharpest knife in the box and many, many things seem to be beyond my understanding. An example is Rool Development suite, got it, can't get anywhere with it. Likewise Reporter, way beyond me. Unfortunately, I'm limited in what I can learn and understand not helped by my dislike of reading which I find hard work. > > So I have another program of mine which sits on the icon bar and > > I drop the Basic prog on to that.

It may well do. I wrote it decades ago and it's in Basic. > So can it set a variable name or something with the program name? It would seem likely I agree, I'll have a look... > I am still unsure what you need the program name for, and how you > want to use it! Okay. My source files follow this pattern... major changes and consolidated code.. SF14, SF15, SF16, SF17, Then small changes and testing... SF18_d02_01, SF18_d02_02, SF18_d04_01 When these changes do what I want it will become SF18. Sometimes I get confused, I've got 3 or 4 Assembled !RunImages and I notice a fault I'd not spotted earlier. I find some RunImages don't have the issue but I've only got the date stamp to identify the source file that last produced code without a fault. If I could look at a fixed location in my code and it contained the name of the source file...... Cheers, Bob.
