Sorry, please ignore that question as it was totally the wrong one to be
asking! :(

What I'm really after is how to pass arguments to a function at machine code
level. Assuming I have the address of the function (which I can keep in any
register you like) what registers would I have to write to to provide
arguments. I'm guessing it would be something like <number of args> in one
register <address of start of args> in another, but how would I know what
sort of arguments they were? I'm really after simply passing a short int to
a function but while I'm here I might as well learn something!

Thanks for any help and sorry again about the last post,
Andrew
