not sure what it does, from documentation I understand this is statement has no effect. I would like to do memcpy from virtual at 0 block to actual file (which I assume is virtual at $). I do something like:

Code:

orgpos = $
virtual at 0
    db "abc"
    count = $
    repeat count
        load char from %-1
        virtual at orgpos+%-1
            db char
        end virtual
    end repeat
end virtual

This supposed to be equivalent of simply defining "db 'abc'". Possible?

No. "virtual at $" if still virtual, it is not in actual file. Simply it is based to current offset.
