I read your little tutorial on jp jr and call... very enlightening.. except
for one thing..
the occurrences used with jp, mainly m.

Minus: meaning (I assume) less than zero. Not less the compared number.
But since the accumulator is only 8 bit.. how can you have a negative number?
Or is it simply a case of it being less than?

I have also been using the 'carry' command after jump and have found that
it works well as a 'less than' statement conversely I have been increasing
the accumulator and using the nc statement as a 'greater than' statement
with a good deal of success. Any comments on these practices?

Thanx
Bruce
