SECTION 5
Assembly Programming
This section explains how to create, edit, transfer, and use an assembly language program. Assembly programs are faster and
use memory more efficiently than higher level programs such as BASIC. In certain situations it is advantageous to use assem-
bly routines instead of BASIC to perform specialized functions. An assembly routine can be called from the BASIC program
and used in much the same way as a BASIC subroutine.
Assembly programs are written, edited, and tested in what is called
Monitor Mode. The monitor mode commands and exam-
ples of their use are presented in this section.
