.TRNME LDX #7 \ The commander's name can contain a maximum of 7 \ characters, and is terminated by a carriage return, \ so set up a counter in X to copy 8 characters .GTL1 LDA INWK+5,X \ Copy the X-th byte of INWK+5 to the X-th byte of NA% STA NA%,X DEX \ Decrement the loop counter BPL GTL1 \ Loop back until we have copied all 8 bytes \ Fall through into TR1 to copy the name back from NA% \ to INWK. This isn't necessary as the name is already \ there, but it does save one byte, as we don't need an \ RTS here
