Hi,

I am struggling to initialize reserve data in the way I think it should work. I am in real mode.

I have the following code (snippets):

So this will reserve me 10 words:



Now I want to initialize the first word with data:



Next I want to initialize the second word with data:



How come when I print out the above two locations in memory, one contains 1 (dec), the other contains 256 (dec).

What I want is to have the first two reserved words to each have the value of 1.

Am I getting the words/bytes mixed up? Does the +1 when addressing memory mean the next address?

This is what I want to have initialized:

[0000 0000 0000 0001]
[0000 0000 0000 0001]

But instead it *seems* to be:

[0000 0001 0000 0001]
[0000 0001 0000 0000]

Any answers would be much appreciated, treat me gentle!

Each word uses up two bytes so you need to use this for the second word:

Thanks.
