It is safe to assume that if one generates straightforward 68000
code to pass the address of a byte, that the byte will be represented
as the upper half of a 16-bit word.  This is well documented, on
IM Vol I, page 93.

This is not a problem for a Pascal CHAR, since they are stored as
16-bit INTEGER, except in PACKED array or record.

Anyone who's read the assembly language chapter should be able
to get this right....
