actually, what you do to access the debugger (er.. Monitor) is type
"call -151" from any applesoft prompt "]".  you should get a "*" prompt.  To
get into the mini-assembler (assuming the apple IIe is atleast an enhanced
IIe or a grey IIe (the kind with the built-in numeric keypad)) type, from
the "*" prompt a "!".

from here you can type an assembler entry like (don't type the '!', that's
the prompt)

!300:LDA #00

which it will then assemble immeadiately (aha, so this means there's no
macros, no labels, nothing.  great for short programs, not so great for
medium to large programs)

to add an instruction at the next location, just type something like

! STA $42

once you've got your program entered, press return at an empty prompt to
return to the monitor.

from here you can use the following commands:

xxxxL (to list at address xxxx. omit address to list from current address
pointer)
xxxxG (to preform a jsr to address xxxx)
ctrl-e (to display the current registers.  PC is not displayed)
xxxxR (to load from tape to address xxxx)
xxxxS (to save to tape from address xxxx)

I know there's a memory move command, but I never use it so I don't remember
it.

you can also use the common DOS or PRODOS commands at the "*" prompt,
assuming you've got dos or prodos loaded.

Now, I'm re-learning BASIC, saving my programs on tapes, etc., and I'm
