Set bits are displayed dark, whereas reset bits are displayed gray. Double-click a bit to

refresh are displayed in red, except for status register bits.

The Object Info bar of the window contains the number of CPU cycles as well as the
processor's name.

Editing Registers

Double-click on a register to open an edit box over the register, so that the value can be
modified.

Press the ESC key to ignore changes and retain previous content of the register.

If the Enter key is pressed outside the edited register, the new value is validated and the
register content is changed.

If the Tab key is pressed, the new value is validated and the register content is changed.
The next register value is selected and may be modified.

Double-clicking a status register bit toggles it.

Holding down the left mouse button and pressing the A key changes the contents of
Source, Assembly and Memory component windows. The Source window shows the
source code located at the address stored in the register. The Assembly window shows the
disassembled code starting at the address stored in the register. The Memory window
dumps memory starting at the address stored in the register.
