BASIC V4 MONITOR commands?

Post by Commodorianen »

BASIC V4 has a primitive machine language monitor that you can start with the MONITOR command. Does anyone know the commands you can invoke in the monitor? I haven't been able to do anything except showing registers with R and quitting with X.

I've made a complete disassembly of the BASIC4 code

https://eden.mose.org.uk/gitweb/?p=rom- ... sm;hb=HEAD

In summary the commands are:
  • M - memory dump
  • R - register dump
  • X - exit to BASIC
  • G - go
  • : - edit memory
  • ; - edit registers
  • L - load
  • S - save
