Doesn't help much when he's using BASIC?, although he doesn't mention what BASIC compiler he's using - which isn't much help either!.

yes I know how it is done in assembler...I need to know how to do it in basic. By the way I am using oshensoft's compiler/simulator

Presumably the documentation that comes with it will explain?, and there's bound to be an example of how to do such a basic task?.

 

[goodpickles]

No. The is documentation does not mention it, and there no example.

OK I figured out how to do it.
Just posting it in-case it may help someone else.
