<p>As you scroll around, you will notice the cursor and other lines change
|

colors. Normally the cursor line is shown with an inverse bar, that is
|

with a white background. Other colors have these meanings:

<p>Press Right Arrow to locate the current 6502 instruction. If you Page
|
||
Down, you can see that Branch Indicators are displayed on the right side of the
|
||
disassembly window, designated by ‘<font face="Webdings, serif">5</font>’ or ‘<font face="Webdings, serif">6</font>’. </p>
|
||
<p>Press Right Arrow to again locate the current instruction. You will also
|
||
notice immediate instructions have a character single quoted, after them, such
|
||
as ‘<font face="Courier, monospace">I’</font> at $<b>FA75</b>.</p>
|
||
<p>Pressing Space, will Trace (into) an instruction. Sometimes you trace
|
||
into a JSR (subroutine), and wish you hadn't. Pressing Shift-Space will "<i>Step
|
||
Out</i>" - that is, run until the Program Counter (PC) is equal to the
|
||
return address on the stack. Pressing Left Arrow will jump the cursor to
|
||
the next instruction after the original call.
