Johnny,

I have fixed the map.

  With regards to ODT, the documentation calls it On-line Debugging 
Technique all over the place - from the System Utilities Manual - 
"On-line debugging technique (ODT) is a program that aids assembly 
language programs", from the Introduction to RT-11 Manual - "For 
MACR0-11 users, RT-11 provides a special on-line debugging tool called 
ODT (On-line Debugging Technique)." I agree it sounds weird, but I 
didn't dream it up.

I have confirmed that ;B does delete all breakpoints, but as you 
suggest, so does B by itself and nB will delete the specified 
breakpoint. G by itself doesn't work in this version of ODT (5.08). The 
address and semicolon are required. If a relocation register is set, the 
address can be relative to the relocation register. I took all of the 
ODT commands straight from the Utilities Manual and Introduction. I 
think the version as distributed in RT-11 v5.3 may work slightly 
differently from the RSX version.

I agree with your point about word and byte boundaries. It felt awkward 
when I wrote it and then I got antsy and impatient to get done :). I'll 
fix it up.

I'll have to play around with the current directory stuff and then I'll 
edit that section as well.

Again,

Thanks for the response.
