EXAMINE Command
Function
The EXAMINE command displays a core location in your area (high
or low segment). The contents of the location are typed out in
half-word octal mode. This command is useful when debugging
programs.
Format
E addr
Where: addr is the address of the location being examined.
The address is required the first time the EXAMINE
command is used.
If you omit the address, the system will examine the
next location. If the previous command was a deposit,
the system will examine the location of the deposit.

address for a consecutive location.
.E<RET>
000141/ 000000 000000
Deposit 1 in location 141. You can omit the address because the

address. The EXAMINE command will use the location of the last
