The syntax line-based, just as in any other assembler. Meaning that you do one instruction or pseudo-op per line:<BR>
<BR>
<TABLE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="Black" CELLPADDING=8 WIDTH="50%">
<TR>
<TD><FONT COLOR="#00FF00">
<PRE>[label] [instruction] [;comment]</PRE>
</FONT></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<BR>
Example:<BR>

<TABLE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="Black" CELLPADDING=8 WIDTH="50%">

<TD><FONT COLOR="#00FF00">
