BYTE byte_address TO byte_address = byte_value
This form is used to initialize a region of memory to the given
byte_value. Note that this command takes a little over a millisecond
(at 9600 baud) for each BYTE loaded. You can terminate this
command by entering a carriage return, but terminating the command
leaves only part of the memory region initialized.
5.4.3 WORD Commands
There are four basic forms for the WORD commands:
WORD
word_address
WORD
word_address
=
word_value
WORD
word_address
TO
word_address
WORD
word_address
TO
word_address
=
word_value
All of these commands can be used whether or not the user’s program is running.
WORD word_address This form is used to examine and then possibly change one or more
sequential WORD variables. When this command is invoked, iECM-
86 displays the word_address in hexadecimal notation and the value
of the WORD in the default base, then waits for an input from you.
You can respond with a carriage return, an ESC, or a numeric value.
A carriage return terminates the command. An ESC results in the
display of the next sequential WORD variable. If a numeric value is
entered, the WORD variable is set to this value and the iECM-86
again waits for input. At this point you can respond only with an ESC
or carriage return. As before, the ESC displays the next sequential
WORD and the carriage return terminates the command.
WORD word_address = word_value
This form is used to set an individual WORD variable without first
checking its current value. When invoked, this command sets the
WORD variable at word_address to word_value.
WORD word_address TO word_address
This form is used to display a region of memory as a sequence of
WORD variables. When this command is invoked, iECM-86 starts
by displaying the current default base and then a series of lines
showing the contents of the selected memory region. The next line
starts with a hexadecimal display of the address of the next WORD
variable to be displayed, followed by the display of up to 16 bytes of
memory as WORD variables in the default base. A new line starts
whenever 16 bytes of memory have been displayed on the line. The
