Re: quick assembly question

Assembly language is not like a higher level language that reads the same for every machine.

Get the manual for your particular machine and go through the instruction set. There are many common operations between machines but the opcode/operand arrangements, and, indeed, even the register names (and how they function), will vary wildly.
