Re: A86: check asm




well, i got _exec_assembly to work fine for me when i run asm programs. 
actually my program (asmOS) is basically done except it tries to run
basic programs with _exec_assembly.  it allows you just to type in the
name of the asm program, it even lets you have one parameter (it must be
a variable though, not a literal).  im storing this parameter in
plotSScreen, the first byte is the number of parameters (0 or 1), the
second is the length of the name of the variable and the next bytes are
the name of the variable.  is there a better place to store this while
passing it? or is plotSScreen fine? also i still need help on that basic
thing :)
