Re: A86: Thank You!


when hl is in parentheses, it means load into the byte pointed to by hl,
not directly into hl.  Thus, this is an 8-bit load (we can only load 8
bits into a byte!).  DE is a sixteen-bit register, and you are trying to
load it into an 8-bit location, which is why there is no such
instruction as 'LD (HL), DE';  it is impossible.

And, like all programmers, you will continute to make mistakes.  We all
do.  I more than most. :)
