Load Turbo Assembler like this
LOAD"TURBO-ASM. V6.0",8,1
and start it with (if not packed) SYS(9*4096) or
SYS 36864
"{" is the backarrow key in document.
CURSOR
MOVEMENT
---------------
CRSR LEFT/RIGHT - move left/right one
position in line
CRSR UP/DOWN - go up/down a
line
RETURN -
insert a line (if insert line mode) and go to this
line
SHIFT+RETURN - jump to next
line
F1/F7
- scroll 20 lines
up/down
F2/F8
- jump to source-code start/end
{CRSR UP/DOWN - scroll 200
lines
up/down
{Q
- goto to beginning of
line
{N
- goto line
#
{Y
- goto bottom
line
DEL
- delete character left
cursor
INST
- auto insert char mode
on/off
{DEL
- delete actual
line
{INST
- auto insert line mode
on/off
{RETURN - insert
a line from cursor position
NOTE: after you leave line TURBO-ASM automatically checks its syntax.
SETTING
TABULATORS
------------------
{7 - set cursor tab (e.g. where cursor
jump to after RETURN)
{8 - set sourcecode tab (max.11)
LINE
OPERATIONS
---------------
{2 - writes
';---------------------------------------'
line
{/ - delete from cursor to end of
line
{SPACE - fill up line with
SPACE
{^ - (up arrow) copy
line
{= - cut
line
{~ - (pound) paste
line
{Z - undo line (imediately after {2, {/,
{SPACE, {~)
BLOCK AND MARK
OPERATIONS
-------------------------
{M - set mark (#0-9), blocks
start (#s) or block end (#e)
{G - goto mark (#0-9)
{; - kill
mark (0-9)
{: - list all marks
{B - block operations: write
(to ASCII SEQ file), kill, copy.
{E - insert (IMPORT ASCII SEQ) file
from disk to current position
NOTE: never mark first line of source-code as block start
SEARCH &
REPLACE
----------------
{F - search a
string
{H - search next occurance
{R - replace
string1 with string2, search first ocurrance
{T - replace &
search next replace
{Y - replace all occurances
FUNCTION KEY
PROGRAMMING
------------------------
{F1 - Reset funcion keys
(F3=.word, F4=assemble&run, F5=.byte, F6=del line)
{A - Input
all characters (exit with "{"); to get "{" press "{"
twice;
useful when define
F-keys
{K - press F-key (F3-F6) to redefine
DISK
OPERATIONS
---------------
{* - disk directory
{@ - disk
status
{D - disk command
{P - set EOR-code for coding
source-code
{W - writes all source-code to ASCII SEQ file
(EXPORT)
{L - load source-code
{S - save source-code (possible
overwrite with @: prefix)
NOTE: 1. TURBO-ASM loads
its source from top ($8FEB) to
bottom
($0800) of
memory and crunches its opcodes, numbers by
own
(like BASIC
tokens).
2. By
saving and loading source-code TURBO-ASM. also
saves
and loads
configurations like colors, F-keys, marks
and
actual cursor
position.
MEMORY
OPERATIONS
-----------------
{6
- converts memory block between addr's to source-code
data
{J - dump memory block between
addr's
{SHIFT+F - fill memory block between addr's with
code
{SHIFT+L - load to memory addr
{SHIFT+S - save memory
block between addr's
ASSEMBLING
----------
{3 -
assemble to memory
{4 - list assembled file to: ?=printer, *=screen,
filename=file
{5 - assemble to object (executable) file
{U -
list labels to: ?=printer, *=screen, filename=file
MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
{C
- cold start (init TURBO-ASM. and clears
source-code)
{I - init TURBO-ASM
& clear unused memory
{+ - add
two hex numbers
{- - subtract two
hex numbers
{V - display memory
usage: - free blocks, + used
blocks
{O - change
colors
{SHIFT+K - keyclick
on/off
{1 - exit from TURBO-ASM.
(SYS 36864 or SYS 333 to restart)
NOTE: {V works incorrectly in range
$E000-$FFFF, b'coz reads I/O & KERNAL
(with Action Replay's crashes quite nicely)
EXPRESSIONS
-----------
The
assembler works with 8 and 16 bit numbers with following
notations:
$
- for hex
numbers
% -
for binary numbers
! (or none) - for decimal
numbers
"x" - for
characters
Allowed operations in expressions (in
high-to-low hierarcy order):
(
) - brackets
*
/ - multiple, divide
+
- - plus, minus
: &
. - EOR, AND, OR operations
Special
operations:
<
- lower byte of 16 bit
expression
>
- higher byte of 16 bit
expression
*
- actual assembling addr or define object-code start (*=start)
NOTE: 1. Never use label after label=* or
likewise combination.
2. Don't use area
between $E000-$FFFF (reserved for TURBO-ASM labels).
Labels:
The first 8 characters recognized
and all remain truncated.
PSEUDO OPS
----------
.OFFS
addr
- set object-code displacement (by adding addr)
.BYTE
byte1,byte2,... - convert bytes
.WORD
word1,word2,... - convert words
.TEXT
"text1","text2",... - convert text
strings
;
- comments following
Some bugs removed by me:
1. Some
versions of TURBO-ASM. (V6.0 tronic/rizing) fails with command {G.
2. {V now
patched for Action Replays.
