[Coco] What is the next "step" in my education?

[Robert Hermanek]

If I remember the original manual correctly, it also had a pretty decent 
explanation of the basic addressing modes (which in my opinion is the 
most important assembly concept to understand to get started), and a 
good instruction reference in the back.  Also, learn how the system and 
user "stacks" are used.  You'll be a big fan of the stack.
