I hope to have a few things straightened out at the first of the year and I can more easily help you. It appears that this ljmp means, if it's like the instruction sets I worked with in the past, long jump. In those days, it meant that the processor was to jump over either a page or bank boundary. If I remember correctly, it meant over a page boundary. I will have to study a little more on this and I will be happy to tell you more. Hope this helps. -- Doug Smith: C.S.F.C.
