my question is two fold:
one, now this isnt really assmebly, but I thought someone here would probably
know better than anyone else.  The question is this, why can't a user defined
function on the 89 use more than a few instructions?  I am making a function
(it could be a program, but a function would be better.) and it won't let me
use sortA because it is an instruction rather than a function.  I would
atleast like to know why that is and possibly find a way out of it.  Is there
any a call that would let me easily do that?

two, I am just starting on 68k asm (I have much experience on Z80) and I would
like to know if there is a quick way to make a function that returns a list of
the names of all the files of a certain type to a list.  Also a list of the
folders possibly.

Thank you,
Chris
