[Coco] Assembler question

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

First, please start a new message, do NOT click reply and change the
Subject:

It took me a bunch of digging to find your original post and discover that
you are using


OS-9 Level-I


Not Level-II which most of us are using on the CoCo 3. (Actually NitrOS-9)


So please disregard my post as it is for Level-II.

As to what you are doing, it is decades since many of us did anything like
what you are trying to do.

I think that I can find my Level-I manuals but hopefully someone else has a
better memory for OS-9 Level-I stuff.
