The following information applies to all DEBUG commands:
■ A command is a single letter, usually followed by one or
more parameters.
■ Commands and parameters can be entered in uppercase or
lowercase, or a combination of both.
■ Commands and parameters may be separated by delimiters.
Delimiters are only required, however, between two con-
secutive hexadecimal values.
Thus, these commands are equivalent:
dcs:100 110
d cs:100 110
d,cs:100,110
■ Press Ctrl-Break to end commands.
■ Commands become effective only after you press the Enter
key.
■ For commands producing a large amount of output, you can
press Ctrl-NumLock (or Pause) to suspend the display to
read it before it scrolls away. Press any other character
to restart the display.
■ You can use the control keys and the DOS editing keys
while using the DEBUG program.
■ If a syntax error is encountered, the line is displayed
with the error pointed out as follows:
d cs:100 CS:110
^error
In this case, the Dump command is expecting the second
address to contain only a hexadecimal offset value. It
finds the S, which is not a valid hex character.
■ The prompt from the DEBUG program is a hyphen (-).
