I don't think I wanna know more... <LOL>

I agree the /fullpath requirement stinks, but that how the I$Create
system call works, same as the corresponding OS-9 call.  The outfile
for ASM will go to the current execution directory unless you give a
full pathname.  ASM sets the execute bit since the binary output is
normally going to be an executable module.

The others in the manual are the same, but you might want to try out
the poorly_documented_but_been_there_all_along "Interactive" (I) flag.
It lets you manually enter asm code directly from your terminal, but
it runs in single-pass mode (pass2) so it can give immediate output,
so no forward references.  Sample command line:

ASM /Term I,L,G

Exit with BREAK or an " end" statement, and remember the leading space
for non-label lines.  It's like the opposite of "disasm -z".
