Notational Conventions

This document uses the following conventions:

-

Program listings and program examples are shown in a

special

typeface

.

Here is a segment of a program listing:

OUTPUT

LDP

#6

;select data page 6

BLDD

#300, 20h

;move data at address 300h to 320h

RET

-

In syntax descriptions, bold portions of a syntax should be entered as
shown;

italic portions of a syntax identify information that you specify. Here

is an example of an instruction syntax:

BLDD

source, destination

BLDD is the instruction mnemonic, which must be typed as shown. You
specify the two parameters,

source and destination.

-

Square brackets ( [ and ] ) identify an optional parameter. If you use an
optional parameter, you specify the information within the brackets; you
do not type the brackets themselves. You separate each optional operand
from required operands with a comma and a space. Here is a sample
syntax:

BLDD

source, destination [, ARn]

BLDD is the instruction. The two required operands are

source and

destination, and the optional operand is ARn. AR is bold and n is italic; if
you choose to use AR

n, you must type the letters A and R and then supply

a chosen value for

n (in this case, a value from 0 to 7). Here is an example:

BLDD *, #310h, AR3
