Documentation for EA EA is a combination of the VE text editor and the AS assembler. The advantage of using EA is the time saved by not having to load in the separate programs repeatedly. The disadvantage is a smaller working space available to each program. When EA is loaded and run, it enters the editing portion of the program. To use the assembler portion, hold down the Commodore key and hit the A key. The assembler then asks for the name of the file to be assembled, and asks if the user wants a listing file. After the assembler finishes, it prints the message: Hit RETURN to continue After you hit RETURN, you will be back in the editor, with the text buffer and markers intact. The "undelete" buffer is erased by invoking the assembler. The size of the text buffer in EA is 30K.
