Most of the compilers I've dealt with on other platforms had no trouble
dealing with intra versus inter-section addressing. Guess that's what's 
giving
me the trouble seeing it from your end. It's also the reason I prefer to 
work
in assembly language. If the compiler has a problem dealing with it, I sure
don't. With assembly, it does EXACTLY what I want it to.

I'll just accept what you say and chalk it up to limitations in the method
currently used for cpu-independent compilation. Thanks for helping try
to get me straight on this.
