I use

	move.l	0(a2,d0.l),d2

Note that you can use word or long index registers (word is sign-extended
to 32 bits), so you need to specify the size.  This is Manx-acceptable
syntax.  (I wrote a lot of "and.l 4(a4,d4.w),d5" code in a wierd inner
loop a while back, so I was glad for the addressing mode's idiosyncracies.)
