Writeback usually refers to a shell that copies the data left in asmexec
back into the program variable after it finishes running.  This allows
programmers to use simple variables with their memory space inside the
program to hold on to data between executions.  This can also mess up some
games that depend on an initial value, and many shells will not do this so
you can't count on it.  You should either do it manually, or put your data
someplace else.
