You shouldn't be using a comment on the same line as your '#define'
statement. They operate very differently from 'equ' statements.=20

An 'equ' substitutes the *value* that you've equated the name to; the
comment portion is ignored. (It only appears at the 'equ' line.)

A '#define' substitutes the *text* that you've specified including the
comment portion. The comment portion of your '#define' statement is
being substituted into your source file, and not stripped out.
