Okay, simple question for those of you who do this sort of thing all the time:

I am writing a program that has gotten a little long...long enough to lose
touch with the variables and literals.  I have used the multiple base-registers
to offset this problem some, but it is still getting at me.  One reason is
that I manipulate a matrix that is 4k long.  Can anyone make the concept of
Control Sections and the method of dividing up a task so that each section
can reference the variables it needs in a common block make sense to me?

AIIIGH!  I hate being born in the age of Pascal and C....I happen to like
370 ASM....
