The debugger using HUB memory $7C000 through $7FFFF

ti85

Last night I spent serval hours trying figure out why I couldn't get correct data from HUB memories in the upper ranges. I would wrlong to an address such as $FE000 and using rdlong at that location would return garbage. Finally, after serval trial an errors, I found out that the last 16kb is only available to the debugger. Even though it took serval tries to figure this out, I was so relieved when I understood what was happening. (when in doubt read the instructions)😁

But, to help others in the future, maybe the Propeller Tool (IDE) should color code the upper 16Kb of hub memory a different color on the compile screen. This might help alert a new user about the restricted memory area.

Good idea.

We need a special compile view for DEBUG.
