[Coco] 6X09 Assembly Newbies.

Jim 

anytime you wish to start, I imagine most of the rest here will look in 
and there maybe some that just do not want to speak up until the 
lessons begin. 

The key is like learning a foreign language you have to develope the 
skill to think in the language you want to learn. In the case of a 
microprocessor you have think how the hardware inside the processor 
works. The instructions are the parts of the vocabulary that makes the 
processor intellegent. You have so many registers and a limited tools to 
do things with. One other note, like doing math, one or two problems do 
not make you proficient. The more you do the better you get. The more 
you do the more you learn to write compact code. Something the boys 
in Redmond Wa. seems to have forgotten how to do.
