About the 80 column Macro Assembler versions.


The 80 column versions of the Assembler have several changes made in the editing section of the assembler.  Therefore, you must be aware when making patches to the assembler that the different versions will have different patch locations.

When using the ESCape key editing functions (keys A-F, IJKM, and @) you should exit the ESCape mode with some key other than right arrow.  This is because the right arrow key will send the character beneath the cursor to the escape key processor and some funny things might happen to the screen if the key matches one of the valid ESCape key functions.

To exit from the assembler you should use PR#3 to unhook the assembler I/O hooks.  Then type FP, or INT.  If you do not do this and leave the assembler you could crash the computer.  This is especially critical in the Language card assembler versions.

To return to the assembler after using a printer, use RESET to turn off the printer and return to the assembler.  Although PR#3 appears to let you return to the assembler you will find that some of the keyboard editing functions may not work right because the assembler is not hooked into the I/O hooks.  The RESET will cause the assembler to hook itself back into the I/O hooks and return I/O to your 80 column card.

In using the MNTR command, the ESCape editing functions will not work from the apple monitor unless you type PR#3 to unhook the assembler before typing MNTR.  You should then return to the assembler with 3D0G or RESET to have the assembler rehook itself back into the I/O hooks.
