REGISTER ADDRESSING MODE (R)
In Register addressing mode (R), the operand value is the content of a specified register or register pair
(see Figure 3-1).
Working register addressing differs from Register addressing in that it uses a register pointer to specify an 8-byte
working register space in the register file and an 8-bit register within that space (see Figure 3-2).
