re: SEG.U var declarations.
Yep, it works now that I've fixed some things.  Due to making several
changes at once, I'm afraid.  *slaps self on the wrist*  The way I set it up
caused the whole thing to crash around the start of the kernel, where I'd
changed the wait for the timer from a bne to a bmi, causing the following
"sta vblank" to screw up as it was no longer writing 0.  Oops :)  So, yep
I'd vouch for the better var method as working with DASM, and furthermore,
the fact that -v3 gets past my objections to the error reporting by this
assembler.  In fact, I'm growing more and more attached to the assembler -
rather like our mangy, emasculated, 3 legged, blind in one eye, deaf, dog.
He's ugly, but we love him.
Actually, DASM isn't all that bad :)
Cheers
