Hello All, Sorry for my newbie-ish question. Just recently I was looking at a code snippet and noted the usage of 'dw'. I have looked around and found that dw assembles the expressions into words. I can see that...but...what is it used for?? One example I was looking at shows me this: DW -1, 3664h, 'A', 3777Q So are there 4 words that are created in memory with these expressions in them?? And if so, where would these expressions be stored? (Can they be accessed?? Thank you for your time!! --|\/| | |< E The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!"
