Yeah, and the code must have been easily available. I don't think I would have figured it out on my own in all my assembly/C programs. I didn't know about it when I wrote my first OS-9 program in BASIC09, though. Maybe when I rev all my programs for Internet Release I can make some tweaks ;-)
Er, do you know how to do it in B09?
