  Sorry if this already made it, but the server on my end reported an error.

  Among other good points made by Tim, you need to get the
  return address off of the stack, and save it somewhere.
  Easier to use stack addressing as the Orca/C manual demonstrates, though.
  ie tsc phd tcd and ending with pld.  And yes, I know that it is
  truly direct page addressing and not 'stack,s' addressing.
  Also the macro stuff in Orca/C is on page 69 in the new & old manuals.
