In the case with the little bubble sort example, that's the 1st example 
given in the first 6809 book I ever read; the book that I owe everything to 
for teaching me exactly and in the right order, how to program the 
6809.  What's missing from the example code is, ofcourse, the other part of 
the book... the documentation.
