I'm going through Nick Bensema's "How To Draw A Playfield" but am not
getting very far.  On page two, it lists a command that reads as
follows:

STA 0,X

     I thought STA stored what followed the command, from memory
location or actual number, in the A register.  The book on 6502
programming didn't mention anything about a comma like that.  What am I
missing?

     Also, just before it mentions that command, it mentions:

"Since X is already loaded to 0xFF, our task...."

     What is 0xFF?  That lower case "x" is what's throwing me.  Is
"0xFF" referring to location FF on the zero page?
