xAsm supports several types of symbols:<BR>
<BR>
<UL>
<LI><A HREF="labels.htm">Label</A>. Used to assign a memory location with a name
<LI><A HREF="equ.htm">EQUate</A>. Give a constant a name.
<LI><A HREF="set.htm">SET</A>. Same as EQUate but with a subtle difference. You can change the value of a SET during assembling.
<LI><A HREF="rs.htm">Structures (the RS group)</A>. Define a structure easily.
<LI><A HREF="equs.htm">String equate (EQUS)</A>. Give an often used string a name. Can also be used as a mini-macro. Much like #define in C.
<LI><A HREF="macro.htm">MACROs</A>. A block of code or pseudo instructions that you invoke like any other mnemonic. You can give them arguments too! Life is good.
</UL>
<B>A symbol cannot have the same name as a reserved keyword.</B>
