.db is just defineing a byte.. it has no opcode of its own..
if you define .db "whatever",0 then it will store the string "whatever" in ascii
code and then a zero at the end..
so the line ".db "whatever",0" would result in this data in the program:
776861746576657200 at the exact location that the .db is...
