A brief review of the ROM disassembly seems to indicate the routines in ROM
save r0-r5 if necessary. For example, the routine at 070c saves all
registers. Like you said, parameters are passed in r6 with extra
parameters on the stack. The caller cleans up the stack as with GCC.
There are no 32-bit parameters to worry about.
The only exceptions to this are the copy memory and clear memory functions
at 0x42a and 0x436 respectively. These use a special calling convention.
The routine at 0x42a takes parameters in registers r0-r2, and destroys
r0, r2, and r3. The routine at 0x436 takes parameters in r0-r1 and
destroys r1 and r2.

My pbForth ROM interface routines assume that the caller cleans up the stack, just like your RCX library which must have been confusing for you :-) I'll post all this in (...)
