    Dump command

    Purpose:  Displays the contents of a portion of memory.

    Format:   D [address]     or     D [range]

    Remarks:  The dump is displayed in two parts:

              1.  A hexadecimal portion. Each byte is displayed in hexa-
                  decimal.

              2.  An ASCII portion. The bytes are displayed as ASCII char-
                  acters. Unprintable characters are indicated by a period
                  (.).

              With a 40-column system display format, each line begins on
              an 8-byte boundary and shows 8 bytes. With an 80-column sys-
              tem display format, each line begins on a 16-byte boundary
              and shows 16 bytes. There is a hyphen between the 8th and
              9th bytes.

                  Note:
                  The first line may have fewer than 8 or 16 bytes if the
                  starting address of the dump is not on a boundary. In
                  this case, the second line of the dump begins on a boun-
                  dary.


              The Dump command has two format options:

              Option 1                                                    

              Use this option to display the contents of 40h bytes (40-
              column mode) or 80h bytes (80-column mode). For example:

              D address
                 or
              D

              The contents are dumped starting with the specified ad-
              dress.

              If you do not specify an address, the D command assumes the
              starting address is the location following the last location
              displayed by a previous D command. Thus, it is possible to
              dump consecutive 40-byte or 80-byte areas by entering consec-
              utive D commands without parameters.

              If no previous D command was entered, the location is offset
              100h into the segment originally initialized in the segment
              registers by DEBUG.

                  Note:
                  If you enter only an offset for the starting address,
                  the D command assumes the segment contained in the DS
                  register.

              Option 2                                                    

              Use this option to display the contents of the specified ad-
              dress range. For example:

              D range

                  Note:
                  If you enter only an offset for the starting address,
                  the D command assumes the segment contained in the DS
                  register. If you specify an ending address, enter it
                  with only an offset value.

              For example:
              D cs:100 10C

              A 40-column display format might look like this:
              04BA:0100   42 45 52 54 41 20 54 00
                                  BERTA T.
              04BA:0108   20 42 4F 52 47
