   I thought I should ask the net on its opinion with regard to two
matters:


1. Should the ML instructions be displayed with or without default
   suffixes? Default suffixes would save a couple of bytes of memory,
   but also save precious screen space. The question can be rephrased
   as to whether:

		MOVE.1 #7,P

   is to appear as:

		MOVE #7,P


2. Should STAR ghost instructions be recognized? The question can be
   rephrased as to whether:

		MOVE.1 #0,P

   is to appear as either of:

		CLR P
		CLR.1 P

   depending on the outcome of question 1 above.


   This will be hard-coded; no user option will be available. Mail
your opinions to me.
