Hex Display

To see a hex display listing, use the Hex Tool:

.M [from] [to]

where from and to are valid 16-bit hexadecimal addresses. If no address is provided, the hex display will continue at the Command Pointer address.

wAx will display memory in hexadecimal bytes, four per line, including a display of the PETSCII characters for a selected range of values. If no to is provided, 16 lines of four bytes will be displayed. You can display more by pressing RETURN.

If you hold down SHIFT while the hex display is listing, the hex display will continue to run until you release SHIFT (or disengage SHIFT LOCK).

The list will immediately stop if you press the STOP key.

You may cursor up to a hex display line and change one or more of the values, and press RETURN. wAx will enter the memory editor after this.

Text Display

To see a text display listing with 12 bytes per line, use the Interpret Tool:

.I [from] [to]

where from and to are valid 16-bit hexadecimal addressed. If no address is provided, the hex display will continue at the Command Pointer address.

wAx will display memory as text, 12 bytes per line. If no to is provided, 16 lines will be displayed. You can display more by pressing RETURN.

If you hold down SHIFT while the text display is listing, the text display will continue to run until you release SHIFT (or disengage SHIFT LOCK).

The list will immediately stop if you press the STOP key.

You may cursor up to a text display line and change one or more of the characters, and press RETURN. wAx will enter the memory editor after this.

Binary Display

To see a binary display listing with one byte per line, use the Binary Tool:

.% [from] [to]

where from and to are valid 16-bit hexadecimal addresses. If no address is provided, the binary display will continue at the Command Pointer address.

wAx will display memory in binary bytes, one byte per line, as 0 and 1. The 1s are displayed in reverse text, so you can easily see character data or binary patterns. If no to is provided, 16 lines will be displayed. You can display more by pressing RETURN.

If you hold down SHIFT while the binary display is listing, the binary display will continue to run until you release SHIFT (or disengage SHIFT LOCK).

The list will immediately stop if you press the STOP key.

You may cursor up to a binary display line and change one or more of the bits, and press RETURN. wAx will enter the memory editor after this.
