hi there,
i should write a scheme compiler for the RCX. so, first i am trying to
understand the opcode of the RCX. now there is one thing i really don't
get...
let's take the example of the 'Add to variable' function [1]. we have
the following args and the function does the following thing:

byte index
byte source
short argument
Add the value specified by source and argument to the value of variable
index, and store the result in variable index.

what i don't get is:
i.
how long is a short? my guess is 2 bytes.
ii.
what this value specified by source and argument is... what is this
argument???

i'd really be thankful if s.o. could help me out here.

yours
pierre spring
