Using it for the location is when you want to store/recall the point in the
memory where that specific data is... A common example that you may use is
when you load 'hl' with a string name, and then make a call to place your
string. That ROM call will refer back to that point in the memory and preform
its task and then increment the location in 'hl' and from there (within the
ROM call) will use "(hl)", to read the value that is IN that location, Not the
value OF the location. Well, I know thats not truely all correct on what the
processor does, but something along those lines... =P
