Content Area

The Assembler displays logging information about the assembly session in the content area. This logging information consists of:

• the name of the file being assembled,
• the whole name (including full path specifications) of the files processed (main assembly file and all included files),
• the list of any error, warning, and information messages generated, and
• the size of the code (in bytes) generated during the assembly session.

When a file is dropped into the assembly window content area, the Assembler either loads the corresponding file as a configuration file or the Assembler assembles the file. The Assembler loads the file as a configuration if the file has the *.ini extension. If the file does not end with the *.ini extension, the Assembler assembles the file using the current option settings.

All text in the assembler window content area can have context information consisting of two items:

• a filename including a position inside of a file and
• a message number.

File context information is available for all output lines where a filename is displayed. There are two ways to open the file specified in the file-context information in the editor specified in the editor configuration:

• If a file context is available for a line, double-click on a line containing file-context information.
• Click with the right mouse on the line and select Open . This entry is only available if a file context is available.

If the Assembler cannot open a file even though a context menu entry is present, then the editor configuration information is incorrect (refer to the Editor Setting Dialog Box section below).

The message number is available for any message output. There are three ways to open the corresponding entry in the help file:

• Select one line of the message and press the F1 key. If the selected line does not have a message number, the main help is displayed.
• Press Shift-F1 and then click on the message text. If the point clicked does not have a message number, the main help is displayed.
• Click the right mouse button on the message text and select Help on . This entry is only available if a message number is available.
