what happens is that when a program is loaded into $D748, the TI-OS will
not bother to put it there again if the program is called a second time.
This way, you're .db vars will be saved until you run a different asm
program which changes the data where you had your .db's stored. to save
scores, use _mm_ldir to copy the program back to it's user memory.
