Wait, I just read something and now I want to know what "Stop" does in Axe.

Well, I mean what is it supposed to do? I though stop would stop program execution.

In TI Basic is Stops it.  In Axe is just waits for the next interrupt. ;)

Ah, okay. It seems like it would be more useful if it stopped the program, in my opinion. Then again, I don't code in Axe, so it might be better that way.

Isn't there another command that stops the program? Like Return or something...

Oh, okay. Yeah I seem to remember that now... It has been a long while since I checked Axe... Doesn't that end calls and routines, too?

Return is like ret in Assembly.  Basically, there's no "Stop program right now" command, but there's not one of those in Assembly either. ;D

Well of course there is! I use it in BatLib...
Just kidding, kind of. What I do is I save SP and then when I need to do an emergency exit, I jump to a call that restores SP and then exits.

Couldn't that mess up the stack though?

Nope, that is why you save the stack pointer to a spot in RAM. Then, if you need to exit, you just restore it and use C9. So for example, in BatLib, OP5 and OP6 are never used, so I use some RAM there. Here is some code at the beginning:
ED73AF84

Then I have a call that ends with this (I call it HardExit):
F3             ;disable interrupts
ED7BAF84
C9

Doesn't that fill up the stack though?  Couldn't that cause the stack to overflow if used enough?

No, more like it empties the stack all at once.

Yeah, its a nice idea.  I use it in a lot of my programs, sometimes because I'm just too lazy to keep track of the stack, but the reason I don't have a single command for that in Axe is because its a 2 part command.  You would need a "save stack" and "restore stack" command.  Calling the restore stack without saving first though is pretty much a guaranteed ram clear.

Ah, okay! Cool! Again, I'm not Axe literate, so I was just curious. So are you saying that you can do this in Axe? There is a command to save it and a command to restore it? That would be useful for programs that require user input that could destabilize the stack.
