processor emulator manual
entry line

summary

    The entry line is used to give the source code emulator commands, directives, and instructions

token separators

    All tokens on the entry line should be separated by a space character. Other white space characters (such as horizontal tab) will be added later. An allowance is made for leaving out the space character in comma separated lists, but this feature is offered as a convenience and is not guaranteed to work under all conditions.

commands

    Commands are given in the format of a command followed by any parameters, all separated by one or more spaces. Commands take effect immediately.

directives

    Assembler directives may start with an optional label (where appropriate). The first item on the entry line (after the optional label) is the directive. The onepossible exception (depending on how you view the construct) is the EQU directive. All attributes and parameters follow the directive, separated by spaces.

instructions

    Instructions may start with an optional label. The first item on the entry line (after the optional label) is the instruction. A size parameter may be appended to the instruction, following a period (no spaces). Any parameters (such as sources and destinations) must follow the instruction, separated by one or more space characters. Commas may optionally be used in the locations where they would appear in normal assembly language source code. Special attributes and parameters may follow those standard items. These include optional indication of flag usage. Any entry line may end with a comment, which is indicated by a semicolon.
