 RR>How do you know when to use the 'long' words such as cmovel?


 When you want to address memory that is not in FPC's normal memory
 space, such as writing to the Video Screen at 0xB800, you must use the
 'long' words, such as CMOVEL.

 Anything that is inside of FPC, such as strings and data, can be
 manipulated with 'short' words, such as CMOVE.
