A83: SOS, BASIC, ASM, + other help needs!


Hey, I'm pretty sure this is the place to send ?'s on the list, and if
it isn't, please tell me!  
Well, I'm new to asm, and everyone has a test prog. when they're first
learning, and I just 
have a question about SOS.  I've read hundreds of things on how to
make a prog be 
recognized by SOS.  Here is my code, someone PLEASE make some sense of
it. 
.nolist 
 #include "joeti83.inc" 
 .org  $9327 
 .list 
xor a 
 jr start 
 .dw $0000 
 .dw description 
description: 
 .db "This is a test",$C1,"and only a test" 
 .db 0 

start: call clrscr 
 ld hl,0000h 
        ld (currow),hl 
 ld hl,text 
 call puts 
        ld      hl,0600h 
        ld      (currow),hl 
        ld      hl,text 
        call    puts 
keyloop: 
 call getk 
 or a 
 jr z,keyloop 
 call clrscr 
 ret 
text: .db "Scotti's Prog",0 
 .db  "stuff" 
.end 
END 
end prog 
Please e-mail me back, or post it, just so I can find it.  <a 
href="mailto:sbrescia@geocities.com">e-mail address</a>  I put the
whole prog up here 
because of 1 other question.  I want to make Scotti's prog and sutff
on 2 seperate lines.  
Could someone help me out here? 
Also, maybe just give the program a look, and give me some pointers,
if possible.  Ya 
know, like optimizations and "stuff" like that. 
I had 1 other question, and this would be for someone with basic AND
asm knowledge.  
I have a basic prog I would like to convert to asm.  It is an
EXTREMELY large prog, so 
I will only put 1 routine here. 
ClrHome 
Disp "***TRAPEZIOD***" 
Disp "ENTER 1 SIDE:":Prompt S 
Disp "ENTER OTHER","SIDE:":Prompt T 
Disp "ENTER HEIGHT:":Prompt H 
(S+T)/2HüA 
Pause A 
ClrHome 
Goto S 
end prog 
If someone could help with putting this in asm?  Oh, and that funny
looking u thingy is the 
-> symbol.  Dang it!  I just have 1 more question.  How in the world
do you store 
something like an program that stores your homework into a string! 
I've done this with 
basic, but I don't know how to do it in asm.  (I also would like to
store multipe strings, 
like for 6 classes)  If someone could talk to me about all of this (or
many people, just as 
long as all of my questions get answered!) that would be great.  THANX!
