Re: A85: address of variables




The are different kinds of permanent vars, so you would have to know which
kind you are using. For all vars on the calc which have variable length you
have to do something to change the lenght, but what you have to do depends
on the var you want to use. So unless you want to do some complicated stuff,
just use ordinary vars in your asm programs.
