Just to point out a feature of the IDE: When you press the CTRL-M,
(ALT-M in the dos ide), the memory map shows the RAM allocation with
all the words first, then bytes, nibs and bits in order. It does not
show you the variable names on top of the memory map, but rest
assured that within each category of variable, the memory is
allocated in the order the variables are defined in your program.
